Top 10 uses for old ski gear

Lets face it, ski gear has a figurative 'shelf life', due in part to new technology coming to market, things breaking or simply going out of fashion. What ever the reason, the ski gear you use today will not be the same gear you are using in 10 or 20 years. So how best to get rid of that used ski gear without sending it to the landfill and making it Mother Natures problem? Ideally, it's best to re-use it in some other form rather than recycling it, which is almost impossible these days with the multi-laminate design of skis and boards. Here are a few creative ways to give new life to that old gear:

1. Ski Tip Cribbage Board

2. Ski Chandelier

3. Snowboard Swing

4. Ski or Snowboard Wine Rack

5. Ski Chair or Snowboard Bench

6. Ski Boot Planter

7. Snowboard and Ski Hangers

8. Snowboard Light

9. Snowboard Shelf

10. Snowboard Dog Feeder
