We do have options that will allow you to carry skis and bikes with your 2010 Toyota Prius with the panoramic or solar roof, but there are no ski/bike rack combination options for the roof or trunk of your vehicle.
Instead, I recommend installing a roof rack like the Yakima BaseLine roof rack which consists of two 58 inch crossbars, # Y00409, the BaseClips # Y06117, RoundBar Adapters # Y03536, and the BaseLine Towers, # Y28TR. This roof rack is compatible with your glass roof, however, you will not be able to use the roof with a roof rack attached.
Once you have a roof rack installed, you can mount a number of different rooftop accessories such as bike racks or ski carriers. For a bike rack, I recommend either the Swagman Upright, # S64720, for a frame mount bike rack, or the Yakima ForkLift, # Y02098, for a fork mount bike rack. For a ski carrier, you could use the Yakima FatCat EVO 6, # Y03096. This carrier can carry up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards.
I have attached installation instructions for the roof rack, bike racks and ski carrier for you to check out.
