I just hang them in my basement but tuning back the din settings is a good idea.

I leave the 3 pairs of skis I own in my room. I say goodnight to them everynight, then pray for an early season.

Give em a wax job and dont store them in the attic or anywhere too humid. Hey, does standing skis upright for, say 1.5yrs warp them?

if you can warp a ski just by standing it upright...you need a stiffer ski

get them base ground at the end of the season, put a good think coat of wax on, iron it in really well, scrape it off...do that a couple of times to really impregnate the base with wax. Then, use a cheap travelling wax or even something like parafin wax to seal them up for the season. Strap them up and put them away in a corner so they aren't teasing you for entire summer.
