How to Carry Skis and Snowboards with the Yakima DoubleDown 4 Bike Rack
Question:
Hi, is this Thule Tram ski rack compatible with the Yakima Double Down 4 bike rack?
asked by: Dan
Expert Reply:
In order to carry skis using your Yakima DoubleDown 4 Bike Rack you will want to use the Yakima HitchSki Snowboard and Ski Carrier part # Y02418, not the Thule Tram Ski and Snowboard Carrier Adapter part # TH9033. I can't confirm the Thule Tram will work with the Yakima DoubleDown but I can confirm that the Yakima HitchSki will. It is more cost effective than the Thule Tram and also lets you carry up to 6 pairs of skis, or 4 snowboards, or 3 pairs of skis and 2 snowboards.
I have attached a review video for you as well.
