Yakima FreshTrack 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards
Looks great on the vehicle. Had a little struggle tightening onto the cross bars but adapted and overcame!
It's a ski rack so its not all that exciting. I like that it is small for storage reasons when not using it. The fastening system to my Toyota Highlander factory rack is secure but a little cumbersome to apply and take off. I like to take it off when not using it to preserve my gas mileage. The boards and skis fit fine although they are stacked in order to get 4 peoples worth of equipment up there. A small price to pay for their compact size on the roof or in the garage.

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.

Thule SnowPack Extender Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Slide Out - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Silver
Love it!!!!!! Great ski rack replacement for older rack. The extended slide is incredible. The eTrailer support helped me pick the model that worked for my car and crossbars. Another wonderful purchase from my go to source for bike/ski or other related products!
Fits our 4 skis and 1 snowboard, 2 skis are for kids which makes it easier. Slide out is really helpful so we don't have to climb over the car to put things on the rack.

Yakima FatCat EVO 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
Just got my Yakima Fatcat EVO 6 ski carrier (black finish) and I am stoked. Note that this is different than the Fatcat 6 (non-EVO, previous generation) carrier. This is my first ski carrier, but I and/or my kids ski about once a week at Alta and Snowbird when the lifts are running, so I expect it to get lots of use. Etrailer shipping was fast and item was packed in a sturdy secondary box. PROS: 1. I love the sturdy build and quality finish of the carrier. 2. The design allows many micro-adjustments to fit to your vehicle and to fit the skis. For instance the spring-loaded hinge on one end and the lock on the other end can naturally accommodate different thickness skis. 3. Carrier has a usable width (i.e. width of skis side by side) of 32.75 inches (832 mm). For those that are not skiing on 75-mm-wide skis from 30 years ago, this carrier might actually allow you to fit 6 pairs! 4. Separate mounting brackets for aero or for square/circle cross bars. The aero brackets fit securely on my Acura/Honda OEM cross bars. The flat part of your skis will be about 3 inches (76 mm) above your cross bars. 5. A built-in lift bracket that lifts by an additional 3 inches (76 mm) the hinged end of the carrier, if you have really tall bindings (I don't think I'll need to use it). 6. The aero brackets use a rubber coated steel strap to wrap under your cross bars. This strap has a quick release cam on one end that can be operated when the carrier is not key-locked. This means you can remove or install the carrier without tools in about 4 minutes, once you've done the initial install-related tuning. While the carrier seems sturdy enough to leave on the vehicle all winter, I expect I'll only install it on ski days. This feature really sets this model apart and for me was its biggest selling point. 7. Yakima packages the carrier in a nice-looking sturdy cardboard box with a flap lid. I can fit the two parts of the carrier in the box, with the brackets/straps still installed, for convenient storage (see picture). CONS: None so far, though I haven't yet actually hauled skis up the mountain! After this ski season is over and eTrailer asks me for a follow-up review, I'll let you know. I'm also thinking about seeing if the ski carrier can be attached to my small hitch-mounted cargo carrier. That would make loading and unloading the skis easier than on the roof.
First off...you can't beat the service of etrailer.com. I was looking for a ski rack for my son's 2012 Subaru Impreza with the factory roof rack (base model not the sport). I could find no reviews of anybody installing one of these on one of those. I took the plunge and will say that I am very happy with the outcome. The installation is a bit tricky and four hands help, but after the first one was installed we had the hang of it and the second one went on very quickly. Even with the expedited shipping this rack was about $50 cheaper than the Subaru ski rack. Again the etrailer.com service is fantastic. I have purchased products here before and will do so again.

Yakima FreshTrack 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
I love this ski rack and the service I got while making the purchase from etrailer! This rack securely holds up to 4 pair of skis and is super easy to put on and take off of the roof. I would highly recommend this rack to anyone. I would also highly recommend purchasing this product and any other rooftop rack needs from etrailer
We added two more racks to the two we already had on our Jeep. Easy to install and use

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!!

Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
This rack easily fits 5 sets of skis for my family. It is FAIRLY easy to take on and off (could be faster if we didn't have to turn turn turn the dials). My biggest complaint is that as soon as my skis are out of it, I HAVE to remove it from my car (SUV). The noise of it empty on my roof is so loud when I am on the highway it is AWFUL! It's like it vibrates my whole car and is super loud. It only does it when there are no skis in it. It is frustrating since it would be way easier just to leave it on all winter taking my skis on and off when we need to, not the entire rack.
Just put this snowboard rack on my 2011 4runner mounted to Thule Aeroblade roof rack. Easy to install and use. Quality seems good. Like the look. No noise issues when driving. No complaints so far. Overall satisfied!

Thule SnowPack Extender Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Slide Out - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
Game changer! I don’t have to climb on the car to put our skis on the rack or take them off. It’s also easy to put the rack on the car and take it off. I’m got sure you could get six pairs of skis on the rack, but I haven’t tried. It’s certainly no problem getting four pairs.
I am so thankful I spent the extra money and ordered the one that pulls out to easily load/unload skies. I’ve had several opportunities where I have had 6 pairs of skies to transport. I have had others approach me to see if I would trade.

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.

Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards - Black

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!

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).

Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Slide Out - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
These rack are great, I have them on both of my SUVs all winter. The etrailer seevice was excellent as well.
Rack works great. Slide out makes loading and unloading much easier. So far we only put five pairs of fat skis on. Might have room for one more pair if I closed the gap between pairs but we didn’t need six pairs for that trip. Only problem was the rack froze up after driving through fresh rain. We had no problems with freezing while driving through salted slush. So far we’ve used it on two longer ski trips to CO from AZ. It’s quiet and strong. We once had a cheaper rack release our top model, expensive, skis onto the highway at 65 mph. That’s why I bought a Kuat.

Kuat Switch 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards
Been a great purchase. Fits 4 pairs of skis and a snowboard with room to spare. Could probably fit 2 boards and 3 pairs of skis easy.

SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Vacuum Cup Mounted - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
Quite an amazing product. When it arrives, you think, "Oh man, how is this going to make it the whole trip?" But I can tell you that I traveled from Fort Worth to A-basin/Keystone and back with no issues. That's 1640 miles there and back at speeds up to 85 mph and at least 3 of the world's climate zones on just this one trip. It is best practice to give each of the suction plungers a few taps every time you gas up, but I forgot a few times and it still caused no issues. Simple assembly with 4 suction cups and 2 of the high-density plastic racks that connect to each other with an included alan key and headless screw. Also includes the high tension straps you'll need to fasten skis/boards at the front and rear of your gear. When I say this rack was solid, I mean like I'd touch it to test for stability while driving and gassing up and it felt like it was sitting in hardened cement. Absolutely rock solid. And, there's a spare strap and plunger included. A couple minor things worth noting (but none of these could justify taking away from the 5-star rating I gave this product): - The suction cups require a clean surface, so don't take this lightly. I took mine to a car wash right before mounting. - The clean surface must also be smooth and seamless. I didn't notice until I started mounting that my truck has a grooved roof, so I had to put 1 rack on the bed cap roof. It worked great. - I wish there was an option just for skis b/c these racks were about 1" too tall to fit in the garage while mounted to the roof, and it's obvious the height of this product is to also accommodate snowboarders. Like I said, minor stuff. 5-stars all the way. You won't regret it!
After using this rack for a whole season, I’m very satisfied with it. Works exactly as expected. Very unique design that allows me to carry 2 boards on any car. You might be able to squeeze 4 if you can line it up so the bindings don’t touch. You do have to be careful mounting the rack on your car to make it stick. It’s important to wipe any dirt off and moisten your roof with a little mist of water, but after you do that it sticks really well. No problem driving 70-80mph with it. I really like having a sunroof to mount the front suction cup on because it allows me to watch the vacuum gauges to make sure that the rack is firmly attached from inside my car. So thankful to seasucker for making a product for those of us who drive sports cars and ski/board!

Kuat Switch 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
Kuat is a high quality product with great customer service. This product plus E-trailer equals a win-win! This carrier is easy to install, works great, and looks good as well.
Used it about a dozen times in the 23/24 season including a multi hundred mile trip to Vermont and it worked great. It is a solid product with seeming quality materials. The switch feature is perfect when not utilizing the rack to transport gear. Gear is kept secure. It is easy to install and un/load equipment.
