I've got a pair of original hellbents I want to put on display but I don't want to drill through them. Does anybody have any tips? Thanks

to clarify, you don't want to drill thru them because of the look, or want to keep them worthy of being able to ride still?

The original hellbents don’t have the little knockouts for the K2 brand skins for touring, do they? If they did, you could have a couple small screws in the wall and just hang them from those openings

Make a washer out of a cut and drilled thicc dowel, drill a hole where you want the edge of the ski to be, thread long screw into hole using your wooden washer to clamp the ski to the wall. Repeat as necessary to mount the skis is whatever config you'd like. You can use drywall inserts but it's best to find a stud. Studs can be found posting with the username 'biffbarf' on a once popular niche skiing forum. You're welcome for my service.
