Rack Bike
Ski Racks: The Best Rack Since the roof
If you live in a place where it snows at some point during the year, then you know you need lot of work to drive anywhere in winter. Not only has it wrapped in warm clothes just to go, but be prepared for inclement weather: ice scrapers, all weather floor mats, proper windshield washer fluid, rubber cargo liners, snow tires and chains ... the list goes on and on. Are you a snowboarder, skier or snowmobile? If you live some sort of an active lifestyle in the winter, then you know all these things are only details. You know you need some serious gear to deliver you, your friends and all their equipment outdoors in comfort and style. With gas prices being as high as they have been many have made the switch to a smaller, more economical vehicle. The unfortunate trade off here is the amount of cargo space. Can not you you get all the boots, bindings, tuning kits and extra clothing in the trunk? Then you should consider building up your new roof!
roof racks are a very practical invention. You can mount numerous things for them: cargo carriers, ski racks, bike racks, kayak racks, that shiny new Queen bed you just bought, brothers / cousins / friends ... anything and there is a way zipper and belt it. Roof racks can be mounted on almost any car or SUV. If you have a truck, no special solutions for you and your team.
If your vehicle has roof rails than it already you can buy made especially "Towers" that hold at its factory roof rails. Then just beams and its roof rack is complete. If you have a roof naked (ie without roof rails) will need "towers" that clamp onto the windowsill and a pair of bars for the construction of its frame. I always cut crossbars to length and style points so you and your passenger will not Bonk the head on it to get off the car. Just be sure not to cut too much off!
Ski racks are obviously useful in the winter. Thule and Yakima are the big players in the ski rack and cargo carrier game. Most of ski racks can mount 4 sets of ski or snowboard in April, but there are a few racks that can mount more, like the Yakima FatCat 6, FreshSesh Yakima, or Great PowderHound Yakima. Each of these racks are extra wide to accommodate up to six pairs of ultra wide powder skis or 4 extra-wide powder boards. Each has unique characteristics and styles, so look at the Yak Racks if you need the extra capacity.
