Hey, I was thinking of designing and building my own in home ski rack/holder/rest thingy. Right now I use my wall, and theres got to be a classier way. Anyone got some good designs, ideas or pictures of what you've done?

I just put 2 2x4's like 3 ft apart, then made like 6 inch arms that stick out every foot or so, then my skis lay horizontally across

you could take a 2 by 4 and put pegs that suspend the skis of the ground so for every pair of skis you would have 2 pegs that hold them up.you could make it so the skis are sideways or so you can see the top sheet depending on how far apart you space the pegs.

here you go, this one in the picture holds 1 pair of skis.
1 in each slot, they work great because you can put a towel under them to soak up all the water to. i have like 3 of these in different sizes, and it is pretty self explanatory on how to build them. https://newschoolers.com/web/content/pictures/id/136388/

i have two metal cylinders mounted horizontally from the wall probably like 2" apart. you just slide the skis in and the tips hold them up. it can hold as many skis as you want provided its long enough. heres a rough diagram.

no, y would it? the wieght of the skis hold them up. the force put on skis when landing backseat/forward is way more stress than what they encounter when in a rack.
