The Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Holder # RR572 is a great way to carry Skis and Fishing Rods. I like that Rhino-Rack has several different sizes available to fit your needs to how many skis or rods you need to carry. The mounting system will attach to the Crosstrek's cross bars whether they are factory or aftermarket aero, square or round bars. The included locking feature makes this one stand out compared to others available.

If your son ever plans to carry a snowboard you might want to consider a larger size in Rhino-Rack's line. The 5-Fishing Rod Holder # RR573F will also hold 3 sets of skis or 2 snowboards. I like the smaller size because it doesn't take as much space leaving room for other accessories like baskets or kayak carriers. I attached a video below on the line of Rhino Rack Rod Holders. We use the largest size rod holder we offer but it will give you an idea how it works.
