Locate hazards before drilling. Check for electrical wiring, plumbing, and gas lines behind your mounting surface. Contact with these can result in serious injury or death.
Confirm wall capacity. Your mounting surface must support the rack and up to 15 lbs of gear.
Select a safe mounting location. Avoid installing directly above high-traffic areas, seating, or work surfaces.

Secure Ski Brakes. Lay your skis flat on the ground and press the brake lever down. Wrap a ski brake band (provided) around one ski brake arm, over the binding, and back around the second ski brake arm to secure.
Set Width & Tooth Position. Place the three rack components on the ground so that the teeth interlock, setting the width of each ski slot. Set it to roughly the width of your skis at the point where you want the rack to hold them. Place your skis into the slots and slide them down until the tapered edges naturally catch and support each ski. Adjust the tooth position until the fit looks right, and take note of how many teeth are engaged. This locks in your spacing.
Mark the Wall. Locate and mark the studs on the wall you plan to mount to. Hold the middle component against the wall at your desired height, taking into account the length of your skis with respect to the floor. If possible, align one of the screw holes with a stud for maximum strength. Use a level to ensure it's straight. Mark the screw holes.
Drill & Install Anchors. If mounting on to drywall, screw the provided self-drilling drywall anchor into the wall at the marked location. Ensure the anchor is screwed in fully flush with the wall prior to proceeding. If mounting into a stud, drill a ⅛" pilot hole at the marked location.
Mount the Middle Component. Secure the middle component into place with two screws.
Mark & Mount Outer Components. Set the outer components to the same tooth position you chose in step 2. Ensure they are fully engaged so the top edges of all components are aligned. Mark the screw holes as before. Install anchors at the new marks as in step 4. Mount the outer components using two screws each.
Hang Skis. Slide each ski into the rack. Confirm both skis are evenly supported.
