Yakima Fat Cat

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Accessories
from: Yakima


We needed a rack that was wide enough for 4 snowboards. This carrier is longer than the average 4 board carrier leaving more room between the boards so that they don't cut up the other board's high backs.


hinges on this rack are spring loaded to self adjust to the thickness of the items being carried. The rack is a lot quieter than our old one a Yakima promo rack.

Yakima Big PowderHound 6-Ski Rooftop Carrier

This rack is very sturdy and fits my Toyota Tacoma perfectly. I highly suggest you have a manufacturer install it properly (REI did mine for about $200, but it was worth not having the hassle). Also the bars are easily taken off with the hex wrench during non-winter seasons, so UV rays don't deteriorate the rubber. It is noisy in the wind, so that takes some getting used to. This ski rack also comes in a 2-pair model. Extra keys are included. Yakima and Thule have great reputations for racks.

Thule 91725 Flat Top Ski Carrier

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Accessories
from: Thule


Installed this on a Jeep Grand Cherokee factory rack. Not enough clearance between the roof and ski bindings - had to take apart skis and lay them flat. Therefore could barely fit 2 skis + 1 snowboard. Look for a height adjustable or bigger rack such as the Yakima Fat Cat if you're carrying more than 3 pair of skis.

SportRack - A26395 - ABS Aero 1300 Ski

from: SportRack

Much better than expected. I've only had this on my Toyota 4runner for a few weeks. Does not feel very heavy, nor does it affect my fuel/mileage so far. Easy to assemble. Also very easy to take on and off any standard crossbar.
The picture is actually inaccurate. Go to the officieal Sportrack website and type in ABS 1300 Ski model A26395. Or just type in the model number. You will see the actual picture is a much longer box. The typical Yakima or Thule Box that is similar sized will usually cost you about $350 to $500, you can buy the exact same one for only $200 on Amazon, under a mistaken picture. I am surprised they are selling this box at this price. I think it might be the price of the picture, which is a smaller dimension ... Read More:

Thule 575 Snowboard Carrier Rooftop Rack

Rack installs in minutes, little tools needed. Straps are adjustable, but worried about how well it will work in mid-winter when I am tired from riding and cold ...ready to go home. Would probably have bought the flat rack for ski and snowboard if I hadn't got this rack at such a discount in a store.

Yakima HitchSki 6-Ski Adapter for Most Yakima Hitch Mount Bike Racks

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Accessories
from: Yakima Products

October 08, 2007
I found the Yakima HitchSki 6 to be easy to assemble, easy to mount on the Yakima Hitch Mount Bike Rack and very easy to operate. It only took me 30 minutes from opening the box to locking 3 pairs of ski on my new HitchSki rack and I consider myself mechanically challendged. It also comes with locking devices that allow for peace of mind while your skis are left in the rack. The HitchSki is also secured to the Bike Rack by using the Bike Rack built in locking cable. I definitely recommend this accessory if you enjoy both skiing and biking with the family.

Thule 562 Vertical Non-Locking (2-Pair)

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Accessories
from: Thule


This product is totally useless unless your skis are over 10yrs old. The rubber straps are about 2" short for going over any shaped skis. I wrote to Thule about the problem and their response was a simple "Thank You"
