Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards
Great product at a great price. Fit an adult snowboard, two sets of adult skis (one set stacked, one set side by side because of how close the bindings were to the roof), and a set of youth skis. Fit snug. Only got up to about 73mph on the highway, but no issues. Some normal fluttering on the snowboard/skis. If you have a torque meter to tighten the bolts that's ideal but I didn't. I just got them snug enough to where I pulled back and forth on the rack and it didn't move.
Works awesome with the snowboards, easy to attach/detach, and durable. Locks and holds fine, initial ordering was confusing and hard to figure out since it’s not a package, and had to get individual components. Rhino rack could definitely improve that! Otherwise it would be 5 star.

Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
Decent rack for the money. The locks are a bit finicky due to the metal/composite combination. They definitely require graphite lubricant regularly. I've only used it with 2 pair of skis and it works well.
Howzit etrailer.com & staff. the rack itself is sturdy and more aero than comparable units. For my 2017 Subaru Crosstrek (OEM) Aero Bars, it was necessary to shim the (rear) lower/leading edge clamp assembly with two 1/8” x 1.5” x 1.5” (EPDM) rubber pads. The bars are shaped like a wing – and these shims helped to level the rear rack with the one in front. Overall - it looks very clean and functional. I might screw on some rubber ends over the ends of the mounting bolt to complete the project. Time to make some turns. Thank you!!

Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 3 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
etrailer ships fast and has great prices! While the rhino track is plastic and not fancy, I’m able to attach 2 snowboards and it works. You have to help it with the hand to get it aligned to lock (maybe due to new stuff rubbers?) but I’m pretty happy and took about 15 minutes to install. If you want something on the cheaper side, this is a great option and these guys will ship FAST
We bought these to go alongside a roof box and they work great, freeing up space in the roof box for all the other stuff you need for skiing. They are sturdy, don't wobble on our Thule bars, and the lock mechanism works well. They would fit 3 pair of x-country or narrow alpine skis; with wider alpine skis you only get 2 pair (there is about 300mm of room on the rack and while many skis are <100mm underfoot, they are 15-35mm wider at the widest part so you can only fit 2 pair).

Yakima HitchSki Snowboard and Ski Carrier for Hitch Bike Racks - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards
It will, indeed fit six pair of skis back to back. It would be better if the lower bracket on each side could be opened wider to make it easier to slide the skis into position. But I've tried it with four different pairs of skis (kids skis, modern adult skis, and even early 2000s adult skis); they all fit fine. Mounting to a bike rack is pretty straightforward, and as long as the rack can hang four bikes, with adjustable hanger slot placement, the ski rack accessory should fit onto the bike rack just fine. I added an extra wrap of shock cord at each contact point just to lock it down better, but that shouldn't be necessary. It is quite sturdy. I do suggest always traveling with the upper brackets locked using the keys that come with the rack. If you want to add a little theft deterrent, hitch bike racks either have a slot for a bike chain, or have one built in. And of course use a locking receiver pin. For several years I've used a roof-top cargo box for skis, but on taller vehicles that would prevent entry into a garage, on taller cars. I got this because lately I've been using a much taller vehicle for skiing, and a roof rack or roof box just wouldn't have worked out for me. I already had a hitch bike rack, so this was the best solution.
Easy install.

Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 2 Pairs of Skis or 4 Fishing Rods
This rhino product was the perfect solution for me. With a roof rack nearing capacity, I still wanted an accessory for my fishing rods AND ski’s. This rhino product filled that need! Super easy to install in the T-track. Thanks agan!
Last year I purchased Rino ski racks from etrailer and they work great . The hardware fit my roof racks and all the fittings are tight. Ordering was easy. Shipping was fast and I even got a follow up personal email from George a year later asking how I liked them - which was impressive! I would definitely recommend etrailer as an honest and good outdoor gear company!

Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Silver
So easy to install onto Thule AeroBlade. Quality materials and convenient design. No significant noise noticeable from wind resistance when driving. etrailer provided great shipment/notification support and was great resource for how-to videos, commentary.
Better than I expected. Only comes with four core locks so be aware of that if you want six like I did. Bought two more locks from Thule with the same key #. Mounted this carrier on my Rhino Rack. Perfect fit and looks great. Would highly recommend.
Setting up the Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier on your 2017 Ford Focus
Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we have a Yakima FatCat EVO ski and snowboard carrier. We're gonna take a look at how it fits on our 2017 Ford Focus. So if you need to carry your skis and your snowboards you could technically fit them inside your car but you don't really wanna do that with all the snow getting in there. The best solution would be to put them on your roof. So there's either a roof box option or an open ski and snowboard carrier like this. The FatCat EVO is a great option because you have premium features like a lock as well as a low profile design.
Whispbar Ski and Snowboard Racks Review - 2015 Ford Focus
Today on our 2015 Ford Focus, we're doing a test fit of the Whispar locking rooftop ski and snowboard carriers. That part number is WB-300. We already have the front carrier on and in place. We're going to show you how to put the back one on since it is the same way. We'll start off by setting our carrier onto our crossbars. We want to make sure it's at about the same spot as our front carrier.
Test Fit: Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier on a 2015 Ford Focus
Today on our 2015 Ford Focus, we are doing a test fist of the Thule SnowPack Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Carriers. The part number for this is TH7326. We already have our front carrier in place, we are going to show you how we secure our back in place since it is the same way. We are first going to start by placing our carrier on and kind of trying to line it up as best with can with our front. Then we will take our strap, we are just going to connect it just there and then we will start to tighten down. Tightening down using our gray knobs here in the back, rotating towards ourselves and that will tighten down. Now we can go do the same thing on the other side. One thing to note with these carriers is that they will carry up to six skis or four snowboards, or you could do a combination of the two.

Now, we do already have our front carrier portion on and secured down. We're going to show you our back one next since it is the same way. We're going to start by placing this on, making sure that our feet are facing the same way, and that our carrier is about in line with our front one. We've got this in place. We'll need to grab an Allen tool, or an Allen key to use with it.
