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!
Used this last season for the first time. Found it lightweight and very easy to install; the main difficulty was getting front and back carriers aligned on the center of the vehicle as the clasps are offset. It was used to hold 4 sets of skis and did this quite easily. I think 5 sets would be no problem, but six sets might be pushing it especially if you are using wider skis. It is very much worth the extra money to get the extender/slide out option if you stand under 6' tall and have an SUV.

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!
Great product! I think it's a bit expensive but well worth it. I bought it to transport my fishing poles. So no long rods in my new SUV.

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.

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.

Kuat Switch 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards
Excellent ski rack. I purchased because I wanted absolutely no noise. This thing is super quiet went flipped up or down. Love the looks of it flipped down. Absolutely no complaints. Easy to use and set up.
Arrived fast, easy to install on my 2021 Toyota Rav4 Limited. Love that it folds down when not in use. Haven't been to the mountain yet but looking forward to putting it to use. Save the box for storage - came with nice foam ends to protect it.

Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Slide Out - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
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.
These rack are great, I have them on both of my SUVs all winter. The etrailer seevice was excellent as well.

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.

Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
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!!
The Rhino Rack was easy to put up on a 2018 Subaru Outback. Took me about 10 minutes. The only issue is that the rack bottom bracket piece is is convex with an acute angle which makes it not fit perfectly on the Subaru crossbar that has a flat bottom. Loaded 2 pairs of skis and poles and the rack kept them securely fastened during transport on the highway. There was some noise from the rack during highway driving but it was minimal.

Yakima FatCat EVO 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
Just got my Yakima Fatcat EVO 6 ski carrier (black finish) and I am stoked. Note that this is different than the Fatcat 6 (non-EVO, previous generation) carrier. This is my first ski carrier, but I and/or my kids ski about once a week at Alta and Snowbird when the lifts are running, so I expect it to get lots of use. Etrailer shipping was fast and item was packed in a sturdy secondary box. PROS: 1. I love the sturdy build and quality finish of the carrier. 2. The design allows many micro-adjustments to fit to your vehicle and to fit the skis. For instance the spring-loaded hinge on one end and the lock on the other end can naturally accommodate different thickness skis. 3. Carrier has a usable width (i.e. width of skis side by side) of 32.75 inches (832 mm). For those that are not skiing on 75-mm-wide skis from 30 years ago, this carrier might actually allow you to fit 6 pairs! 4. Separate mounting brackets for aero or for square/circle cross bars. The aero brackets fit securely on my Acura/Honda OEM cross bars. The flat part of your skis will be about 3 inches (76 mm) above your cross bars. 5. A built-in lift bracket that lifts by an additional 3 inches (76 mm) the hinged end of the carrier, if you have really tall bindings (I don't think I'll need to use it). 6. The aero brackets use a rubber coated steel strap to wrap under your cross bars. This strap has a quick release cam on one end that can be operated when the carrier is not key-locked. This means you can remove or install the carrier without tools in about 4 minutes, once you've done the initial install-related tuning. While the carrier seems sturdy enough to leave on the vehicle all winter, I expect I'll only install it on ski days. This feature really sets this model apart and for me was its biggest selling point. 7. Yakima packages the carrier in a nice-looking sturdy cardboard box with a flap lid. I can fit the two parts of the carrier in the box, with the brackets/straps still installed, for convenient storage (see picture). CONS: None so far, though I haven't yet actually hauled skis up the mountain! After this ski season is over and eTrailer asks me for a follow-up review, I'll let you know. I'm also thinking about seeing if the ski carrier can be attached to my small hitch-mounted cargo carrier. That would make loading and unloading the skis easier than on the roof.
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.

Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
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.
These are extremely easy and quick to install. Love the aerodynamics of them as well as it's quality craftsmanship. Very pleased with this item and with the delivery speed! From North Shore Oahu....MAHALO

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

Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 3 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
I think these racks will be excellent during ski outings for many years. I attached them directly to the C-grooves on my Aero bars rather than using the provided clamps. The C-groove attachment is stronger and slightly lower profile. I love the large release buttons!.
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.

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!

Inno Gravity Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Clamp On - Locking - 6 Pairs of Fat Skis or 4 Boards
Easy to install. Works fine with my 2017 CR-V factory crossbars even though they are only 20mm thick. Quick removal when not needed.
Worked out great. Love the ease of installation and the quality of the product. I was able to fit 2 snowboards and 1 junior skis without staking. It does cause some wind noise at 65+ mph, but that's to be expected.

Thule Roof Rack Review - 2017 Toyota Sienna
Speaker 1: Today for your 2017 Toyota Sienna, we're gonna be test-fitting the Thule aeroblade roof rack system, consisting of part numbers THARB53. These are the Thule aeroblade load bars, 53 inches long. These also come in black, as part number THARB53B. We'll also be using part number TH450R, and these are the Thule rapid crossroad roof mounted railing foot packs.Thule aeroblade roof rack system is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof while freeing up space inside your vehicle. This can carry anything from cargo baskets to cargo boxes to ski and snowboard carriers as well. The bars themselves have a general aerodynamic shape to them and that coupled with the rubber strip at the top is going to cut down the wind noise and drag while you drive.Also, we can slide open the end cap here and you can see that they can be used with T-track accessories.
Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack Installation - 2017 Toyota Sienna
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Toyota Sienna, we're gonna be test fitting the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack System for factory raised side rails, part number TH7502-TH7502. This also comes in black as part number TH7502B-TH7502B. The Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack System is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your roof while freeing up space inside your vehicle. This can carry anything from cargo baskets, to cargo boxes, to kayak carriers, to ski and snowboard carriers as well.The bar has an aerodynamic shape to it, and that, couple with the rubber strip up at the top, is gonna cut down wind noise and drag. Now, because of it's style and how it attaches to the factory raised side rails, it does have a factory look to it once you install it. However, because you don't have that additional overhang with the crossbars, and because these go in so far with the foot packs, you are gonna lose some space when you install stuff on your roof.Removing the end caps, you can also see that these can be used with T-track accessories.

With our rack assembled according to the manufacturer's instructions, we'll grab the front half of our rack and place it onto the front portion of our side rails. We'll bring the black rubber coated metal straps around the underside of our side rails and fit them into the foot of the carrier. We'll need to find a fixed point for measurements. In this case we're going to use the intersection here at the very front of the side rail. We're going to measure back 5" from that intersection to the front edge of our foot pack.
Thule Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2013 Toyota Sienna
Today on our 2013 Toyota Sienna, we'll be test fitting the Thule complete crossroad kit with 58 inch long bars and locks, part number TH45058. We'll begin our test fit by placing the front load bar onto the front of our roof. We'll position both of the feet next to a crease, right where the raised side rail connects to the roof. Make sure the feet are equidistant from the slide on both sides. This will ensure that the front bar is perpendicular to the raised rails of our roof. With the bar in position, we can bring the rubber coated steel straps around the underside of the bar and hook them into the connection points. We'll then use the included tool to tighten on the black bolt that tighten the straps up against the rail. We'll then repeat the same process for the other side. With this done, we'll go ahead and place the rear load bar onto the rear of our roof and measure the load bar spread.
Thule AeroBlade Traverse Roof Rack Installation - 2013 Toyota Sienna
Today on our 2013 Toyota Sienna, we'll be test fitting the Thule AeroBlade roof rack system using part numbers THARB53 for the 53" AeroBlade bars, and part number TH450R for the Thule Rapid Crossroad roof-mounted railing foot packs. With our roof rack assembled according to the instructions, we'll begin the test fit by placing our front load bar onto the front part of our roof. We'll find a fixed point on the side rails to set our foot pack. This way we can make sure that our foot packs are in line with each other on each side of the vehicle. Once we have the bar in place, we need to check for even bar overhang on each side of our vehicle. Once we have it set, we can bring our strap around our side rail, place it back into the foot pack, and tighten with the included tool.
Thule Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2011 Toyota Sienna
Today on this 2011 Toyota Sienna we are going to show you a Thule Crossroad roof rack system. The Thule Crossroad system is designed to attach to vehicles with factory raised side rails. It utilizes a steel band that is coated in rubber that wraps around the side rails. Once you have the roof rack system assembled, lay the first crossbar over the side rails. Once we have our crossbar in position, we will make sure that the bar is overhanging on either side evenly. Once we have made sure that the overhang is even on both sides, we can go ahead and begin tightening down our crossbar system. Take the steel band, pull it underneath the side rail and push it in to the crossroad foot. Take the cap with the built in Allen key and begin to tighten the clamp. We will move back and forth from driver side to passenger side to make sure we tighten down the system evenly. As we tighten the Allen head bolt, not only does it pull the steel band tight around the side rails but it also locks the Crossroad feet on to the crossbars. 1:02
Thule Crossroad Roof Rack Installation - 2005 Toyota Sienna
Today on this 2005 Toyota Sienna with factory raised side rails; we are going to be installing a Thule Crossroad Roof Rack System. We already have our crossbar assemblies put together so now we are ready to begin mounting them on the top of our vehicle. With this roof rack system we can have a maximum crossbar spread of 59 inches. We do not need to use a specific crossbar spread, as this system is designed to work on top of factory raised side rails, however you may want to check with the instructions on whatever accessories you might be using to see if they have a recommended crossbar spread. First we are going to set the front crossbar assembly on top of our side rails. We are going to measure from the end of the crossbar foot to the seam of our factory raised side rails.
