What do you do with old skis/bindings?

I’ve had a few pairs of old skis that I’ve been hoarding in my mom’s garage for the past few seasons now. I’ve spent the past week dismounting the bindings off said skis that are no longer in commission. Some gear is just old and outdated, while some other gear is broken and no longer usable. I want to try and do something creative with old gear that’s still intact, but even though I hate being wasteful is it best to just toss broken gear in the trash?

Happy spring cleaning everyone

I'm planning on lining a wall (maybe behind a bar or in garage?) with old skis for some good nostalgia. You can also do the classic Adirondack chair, coat hanger, shot ski, coffee table top, the list goes on. Helps to clean off rust/sand down chips too. There's def threads of people getting creative so dig around.

wait until you see someone trying to sell an over price set on a buy and sell and then swoop in and offer yours for free or cheaper

if I really care about the skis, they're staying with me forever and when I'm old and have alzheimers, I hope they remind me of better times.



If I thought they were okay, I usually just give them to someone who needs them

I built a shot ski and a coat rack out of some old park skis, came out pretty nice; still trying to figure out what to do with a couple other old pairs
