This is a great solution for carrying skis and snowboards on a variety of different applications. The advantage of using this rack is that you don't have to climb on top of a larger vehicle to load your skis and boards. On vehicles like the Jeep Wrangler where a roof rack option can be difficult to install, this rack is a savior when paired with the 963 Thule Spare Me bike rack.

The disadvantage of this rack is that depending on your vehicle, so much road muck gets sprayed onto the back of the vehicle, that your skis and boards can get covered in de-icers, such as magnesium chloride, and road salts.
