Place in corner of room.
Fold and place all things nicely.
Look over to remind you of ski season.
profit?

I just throw my skis and boots in my garage and throw everything else in a duffel bag and a backpack

2x4 + 1/2" Dowels and you have a rack you can lean or hang skis on, mount into studs on any wall.

For long term storage, like over the summer, clean the edges of any rust (gummi stone), put on a thick ass layer of wax. Not a bad time to grease any moving parts in your bindings, especially if they're old and filled with dirt.

For the summer:

Gummy stone edges and cover bases in wax without scraping (like Ginko said), keep indoors in a dry place (I usually keep them in my closet). I hang up my outerwear and stuff I only wear skiing (tall-tees, tall-hoodies, ect) in the same closet and all my gloves, hats, helmet, goggles, ect. in backpack, also in the closet and my boots in a boot bag (also in the closet).

Wax my skis like said above (do not scrape) and put them in the basement. Throw my boot in my closet. Put helmet, goggles, outerwear, and accessories into plastic bin.

leave wax on pow skis and lean against my wall where they were all ski season. hang coats/gear in closet/leave out in open. i never really store my park skis/boots because i always use them in the summer.

realistically i can get ready to ski as quickly in the summer as i can in the winter

Hang your coat, pants and sweaters in your closet, goggles, gloves and hats'n shit in a bin, and skis in the basement or garage with waxed bases (which has been said 20 times).

Never put away your steeze though.

You should lube up your bindings before summer storage.

too lazy to check if anyone else mentioned it yet, but ALWAYS crank your din down as low as it goes over the summer.
