Default keeping skis in roof box for a couple of weeks

Will it harm my skis if I keep them in a bag in my roof box for a few
weeks? The edges are dry and it would be convenient to get them out of the
house until the next trip but I am concerned that temperature changes will
cause condensation which will rust the edges. Similarly for the boots
(although they wouldn't rust, they might mold). Am I correct to be
concerned about it or can I through my ski stuff back in the box and get it
out of my way?

Gear should always be stored where there is air circulation.

I would leave them in the house for the reasons you just gave.

My gosh man this are your *skis*. If you must,
put your wife in the roof box for a few weeks,
but *never* your skis.
