I highly recommend checking out the Yakima FreshTrack # Y03092 for a 4-ski carrier or FreshTrack # Y03093 for a 6-ski carrier.

These ski racks have been confirmed to fit the factory crossbars on your 2018 Subaru Outback and is locking to help keep your skis and the carrier safe.

The FreshTrack offers convenience in the form of a push-button opening and your skis will stay put and scratch-free inside the carrier due to its rubber molding.

I have added a link to video reviews of both carriers for you to check out as well.
