Came across this idea on Pinterest. Not the best photo, but you get the idea.
If it were me I would anchor it to the wall.

Brilliant! Only problem-- what's a CD?
CD's and DVD's have gone the way of these skis.
@Bill Talbot ..those skis were not worth saving anyway.
Every ski deserves a fighting chance...
What are his straight skis? What bindings?
Some old bindings are 'safe enough' for a reasonable run or two. I use some old Nevadas and N17s on old race skis. I have tested them and they perform well. Indemnification is very important, but if you are going to relive an old moment on skis, reasonably safe old bindings can really add to the experience. On the other hand, there is no harm in putting perfectly good modern bindings on old skis. It is a matter of risk and what you (or your husband) are willing to accept for nostalgia's sake.
As you can see, I tend to go whole hog on the vintage gear as do others on this site.

I'm happy to lend advice. Philpug is a font of information when it comes to old bindings, too. Be sure to post pictures of the gear. When we know more we can give better advice. Some old gear just deserves to be skied.
I haven't bought a cd for a decade (only buy from iTunes), but I have a lot from when I was young and single. Back during my MTV Headbangers Ball viewing days I bet I bought a cd every week.Brilliant! Only problem-- what's a CD?
