Ski & Snowboard Racks

Frequently Asked Questions

Ski and snowboard roof racks are a popular choice among skiers and snowboarders, across vehicle types. They’re affordable, easy to install, and intuitive to operate. A potential drawback of rooftop ski and snowboard racks is that they don’t provide as much protection to equipment from the elements. Overall, rooftop racks are a fantastic choice for winter athletes looking to transport gear without sacrificing interior space.

The Number of Skis/Snowboards:

The capacity you need for your rack will depend on how much gear you need to transport. The Rhino Rack Multi-Purpose Ski Carrier for Skis or Snowboards comes in small, medium, and large, with capacities to hold two skis, four skis or two snowboards, and six skis or four snowboards. The snaps lock for security on the road as you venture far and wide. It also boasts a release mechanism that allows for operation without pesky tie-downs. This feature also lets you open and close the carrier with gloved hands, keeping you warm and operating smoothly for quicker load-up.

Ski/ Snowboard Sizes:

Take into account how large your gear is. For example, the Kuat Grip 6 is a snowboard and ski rack designed to accommodate winter gear of varying sizes. The GripLock rubber adjusts to your equipment, large or small, short or long. Its FlipMount system makes for quick, simple installation and removal. The slide-out component and large handle make loading and unloading a breeze. The full metal outer shell and locking systems make it a durable and reliable rack to securely hold your winter gear on the go.

Suitable for cars and SUVs, the high-quality material and build of the Kuat grips skis and boards like never before. Its robust rubber incorporates grooves that mold to the unique contours of any gear placed within the nest of the rack. The cutting-edge extender bar enables users to shift the base closer for effortless unloading. The streamlined, low-profile design renders its aesthetic unmatched in the market of ski and snowboard roof racks.
