Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards
I'm completely satisfied with my purchase from etrailer. First, the company provides terrific support, from installation instructions to responding quickly to questions. Second, the carriers are great. They are easy to install and remove. I am confident they are securely installed and my skis are safe. I wasn't worried about them as I drove down I-80 in Wyoming at 80mph. Having the skis on the roof made it possible for me, my wife, our infant son in his car seat, our dog, our cat in his carrier, and our luggage to fit in our car so we could enjoy a week-long ski trip in Utah. The only reason I held back from giving a 5-star review is the noise. I might be able to reduce it by moving around the rail inserts or adding an air dam. I'll report back if either of those work. Until then, I'll happily and confidently keep using the carriers.
Fairly happy with the overall product. The attachment screws for the brackets could be 1/4” longer for use of installation on thicker bars. And the locking system kind of sucks. It’s difficult to get the key to turn in the lock and have bent on of them.

Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
This rack easily fits 5 sets of skis for my family. It is FAIRLY easy to take on and off (could be faster if we didn't have to turn turn turn the dials). My biggest complaint is that as soon as my skis are out of it, I HAVE to remove it from my car (SUV). The noise of it empty on my roof is so loud when I am on the highway it is AWFUL! It's like it vibrates my whole car and is super loud. It only does it when there are no skis in it. It is frustrating since it would be way easier just to leave it on all winter taking my skis on and off when we need to, not the entire rack.
Just put this snowboard rack on my 2011 4runner mounted to Thule Aeroblade roof rack. Easy to install and use. Quality seems good. Like the look. No noise issues when driving. No complaints so far. Overall satisfied!

Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Silver
So easy to install onto Thule AeroBlade. Quality materials and convenient design. No significant noise noticeable from wind resistance when driving. etrailer provided great shipment/notification support and was great resource for how-to videos, commentary.
Better than I expected. Only comes with four core locks so be aware of that if you want six like I did. Bought two more locks from Thule with the same key #. Mounted this carrier on my Rhino Rack. Perfect fit and looks great. Would highly recommend.

Thule SnowPack Extender Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Slide Out - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Silver
Love it!!!!!! Great ski rack replacement for older rack. The extended slide is incredible. The eTrailer support helped me pick the model that worked for my car and crossbars. Another wonderful purchase from my go to source for bike/ski or other related products!
Fits our 4 skis and 1 snowboard, 2 skis are for kids which makes it easier. Slide out is really helpful so we don't have to climb over the car to put things on the rack.

Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
I have had a Rhino Rack on my Ford Explorer for a year and travel many miles as a ski racing official. The installation was quick and simple and durability has been impressive. I would definitely recommend these racks.
Howzit etrailer.com & staff. the rack itself is sturdy and more aero than comparable units. For my 2017 Subaru Crosstrek (OEM) Aero Bars, it was necessary to shim the (rear) lower/leading edge clamp assembly with two 1/8” x 1.5” x 1.5” (EPDM) rubber pads. The bars are shaped like a wing – and these shims helped to level the rear rack with the one in front. Overall - it looks very clean and functional. I might screw on some rubber ends over the ends of the mounting bolt to complete the project. Time to make some turns. Thank you!!

Yakima HitchSki Snowboard and Ski Carrier for Hitch Bike Racks - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards
It will, indeed fit six pair of skis back to back. It would be better if the lower bracket on each side could be opened wider to make it easier to slide the skis into position. But I've tried it with four different pairs of skis (kids skis, modern adult skis, and even early 2000s adult skis); they all fit fine. Mounting to a bike rack is pretty straightforward, and as long as the rack can hang four bikes, with adjustable hanger slot placement, the ski rack accessory should fit onto the bike rack just fine. I added an extra wrap of shock cord at each contact point just to lock it down better, but that shouldn't be necessary. It is quite sturdy. I do suggest always traveling with the upper brackets locked using the keys that come with the rack. If you want to add a little theft deterrent, hitch bike racks either have a slot for a bike chain, or have one built in. And of course use a locking receiver pin. For several years I've used a roof-top cargo box for skis, but on taller vehicles that would prevent entry into a garage, on taller cars. I got this because lately I've been using a much taller vehicle for skiing, and a roof rack or roof box just wouldn't have worked out for me. I already had a hitch bike rack, so this was the best solution.
Excellent and unbelievable customer care service and prontly 72 hours delivery on Christmas week. Easy and timeless installation product, drove all ready 1,000 miles without shacks neither vibration. Jut make sure the bike's rack screw/lock get well tight.

Yakima FatCat EVO 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
First off...you can't beat the service of etrailer.com. I was looking for a ski rack for my son's 2012 Subaru Impreza with the factory roof rack (base model not the sport). I could find no reviews of anybody installing one of these on one of those. I took the plunge and will say that I am very happy with the outcome. The installation is a bit tricky and four hands help, but after the first one was installed we had the hang of it and the second one went on very quickly. Even with the expedited shipping this rack was about $50 cheaper than the Subaru ski rack. Again the etrailer.com service is fantastic. I have purchased products here before and will do so again.
Overall a great product. Instructions were easy to follow and set up was a breeze. The clamps fit well in the roof racks and look sharp. I put my snowboard in the clamps and couldn't get it to slide around or budge so they hold tight. Would recommend to friends.

Thule SnowPack Extender Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Slide Out - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
Game changer! I don’t have to climb on the car to put our skis on the rack or take them off. It’s also easy to put the rack on the car and take it off. I’m got sure you could get six pairs of skis on the rack, but I haven’t tried. It’s certainly no problem getting four pairs.
I am so thankful I spent the extra money and ordered the one that pulls out to easily load/unload skies. I’ve had several opportunities where I have had 6 pairs of skies to transport. I have had others approach me to see if I would trade.

Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
Very well built. I like it so much I purchased the larger EVO 6 model too for when the this one isn't enough.
I actually ended up buying a second set so I can fit a total of 8 pairs of skis on my jeep. I love the quality and ease of installation. It’s an easy to use system and love that my skis are secured.

Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 2 Pairs of Skis or 4 Fishing Rods
Last year I purchased Rino ski racks from etrailer and they work great . The hardware fit my roof racks and all the fittings are tight. Ordering was easy. Shipping was fast and I even got a follow up personal email from George a year later asking how I liked them - which was impressive! I would definitely recommend etrailer as an honest and good outdoor gear company!
My second Rhino Rack. I use the racks for skiing and fishing pole. I travel a lot and have never had a problem with them. The Installation is simple and can be completed in under 15 minutes. Etrailer was cheaper than amazon, didnt charge for shipping, and I got the rack a few days after ordering. Would totally recommend etrailer.

Yakima FreshTrack 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards
Looks great on the vehicle. Had a little struggle tightening onto the cross bars but adapted and overcame!
It's a ski rack so its not all that exciting. I like that it is small for storage reasons when not using it. The fastening system to my Toyota Highlander factory rack is secure but a little cumbersome to apply and take off. I like to take it off when not using it to preserve my gas mileage. The boards and skis fit fine although they are stacked in order to get 4 peoples worth of equipment up there. A small price to pay for their compact size on the roof or in the garage.

Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 3 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
We bought these to go alongside a roof box and they work great, freeing up space in the roof box for all the other stuff you need for skiing. They are sturdy, don't wobble on our Thule bars, and the lock mechanism works well. They would fit 3 pair of x-country or narrow alpine skis; with wider alpine skis you only get 2 pair (there is about 300mm of room on the rack and while many skis are <100mm underfoot, they are 15-35mm wider at the widest part so you can only fit 2 pair).
I can't ski, I fly fish. However my oldest decided to try downhill skiing after being gifted a pair of skis. I am budget minded should the skiing not work out and after breaking many rod tips decided this might solve 2 problem. I am very pleased w/this equipment holder. It has transported skis & ski poles too and from and no longer does my oldest have to dodge skies coming over the back seat. So far it has taken abuse from the rain (& freezing rain), snow, ice, rapid warming, road salt, and upwards of 70mph and there has been no shifting, loosening, breaking of plastic or any other noticeable problems. I am excited for spring to see how it transports my fly rods.

Yakima FreshTrack 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
I love this ski rack and the service I got while making the purchase from etrailer! This rack securely holds up to 4 pair of skis and is super easy to put on and take off of the roof. I would highly recommend this rack to anyone. I would also highly recommend purchasing this product and any other rooftop rack needs from etrailer
We added two more racks to the two we already had on our Jeep. Easy to install and use

Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Slide Out - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
These rack are great, I have them on both of my SUVs all winter. The etrailer seevice was excellent as well.
Rack works great. Slide out makes loading and unloading much easier. So far we only put five pairs of fat skis on. Might have room for one more pair if I closed the gap between pairs but we didn’t need six pairs for that trip. Only problem was the rack froze up after driving through fresh rain. We had no problems with freezing while driving through salted slush. So far we’ve used it on two longer ski trips to CO from AZ. It’s quiet and strong. We once had a cheaper rack release our top model, expensive, skis onto the highway at 65 mph. That’s why I bought a Kuat.

SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Vacuum Cup Mounted - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
Quite an amazing product. When it arrives, you think, "Oh man, how is this going to make it the whole trip?" But I can tell you that I traveled from Fort Worth to A-basin/Keystone and back with no issues. That's 1640 miles there and back at speeds up to 85 mph and at least 3 of the world's climate zones on just this one trip. It is best practice to give each of the suction plungers a few taps every time you gas up, but I forgot a few times and it still caused no issues. Simple assembly with 4 suction cups and 2 of the high-density plastic racks that connect to each other with an included alan key and headless screw. Also includes the high tension straps you'll need to fasten skis/boards at the front and rear of your gear. When I say this rack was solid, I mean like I'd touch it to test for stability while driving and gassing up and it felt like it was sitting in hardened cement. Absolutely rock solid. And, there's a spare strap and plunger included. A couple minor things worth noting (but none of these could justify taking away from the 5-star rating I gave this product): - The suction cups require a clean surface, so don't take this lightly. I took mine to a car wash right before mounting. - The clean surface must also be smooth and seamless. I didn't notice until I started mounting that my truck has a grooved roof, so I had to put 1 rack on the bed cap roof. It worked great. - I wish there was an option just for skis b/c these racks were about 1" too tall to fit in the garage while mounted to the roof, and it's obvious the height of this product is to also accommodate snowboarders. Like I said, minor stuff. 5-stars all the way. You won't regret it!
After using this rack for a whole season, I’m very satisfied with it. Works exactly as expected. Very unique design that allows me to carry 2 boards on any car. You might be able to squeeze 4 if you can line it up so the bindings don’t touch. You do have to be careful mounting the rack on your car to make it stick. It’s important to wipe any dirt off and moisten your roof with a little mist of water, but after you do that it sticks really well. No problem driving 70-80mph with it. I really like having a sunroof to mount the front suction cup on because it allows me to watch the vacuum gauges to make sure that the rack is firmly attached from inside my car. So thankful to seasucker for making a product for those of us who drive sports cars and ski/board!

Mount: Yakima FreshTrack 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier on a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe
Hi, Matt with etrailer. If you're looking for a way to carry your skis from point A to point B just in a little bit of a better fashion than trying to put 'em inside your vehicle, then Yakima FreshTracks will be a great option for your 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe, especially if you are looking for something that does have the ability to accommodate for your skis with taller bindings, because you probably don't want that making contact with your roof. So let's check it out. So we look at the very front of it, you'll notice we have this pretty large button. And I like this design because it just makes it easier to press, especially if you have those larger gloves or your mittens on. And when I'm trying to grab my skis, on the Santa Fe, this isn't too bad.
How does the Inno Gravity Ski and Snowboard Carrier fit on a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe?
Hi, I'm Matt with etrailer. If you're looking for something that's gonna be able to take your skis from point A to point B, so you don't have to load them up in your 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe, then the Inno Gravity Ski Carriers are gonna be a great option for you, especially since this is something that's really easy to take on and off, because those clamps are gonna remember your crossbars. And putting them on top of your roof is gonna be a much better option as opposed to trying to put them inside your vehicle, because it's gonna be very cramped. You probably don't want those wet, snowy, icy skis in there anyways. So let's check it out. So if we're looking at the carrier, you'll notice we're gonna have this large button right here.
How the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier fits on a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe
Hi, Matt with etrailer. If you're looking for a good way to take your skis from point A to point B because while the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe does have a decent amount of space in the back, you don't want those snowy, icy, wet skis inside your vehicle, so the next best option is gonna be up top on your roof, especially if you are newer to skis. And a great option for that is gonna be the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier. Now the one we have today can hold up to four skis or two snowboards. But this will come in a variety of different sizes. Now really using this carrier is pretty easy.
2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier: Complete Installation
Hi, I'm Matt with Etrailer. If you're looking for an easier way to load and unload your skis or snowboards on your 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe, then the Kuat Grip ski and snowboard carrier is gonna be a great option for you. Now, if we really look at this, this is a really neat design. This is gonna look pretty clean on top of our vehicle, and the reason why you might want a ski and snowboard carrier is because, one, skis are pretty long. So they're gonna be pretty difficult to put inside your vehicle, and two, if you are using them, chances are they're gonna have some snow, ice or water on 'em. That's some stuff you don't want getting inside your vehicle.
