 Not bad - doesn't fit shaped skisDec 09, 2006
By Alistair Galbraith
I just fitted this to my 998xt rack. It fits fairly well, and feels pretty secure. It's well made, and comes with all the accessories you'll need.
The downside is that it's impossible to get my shaped skis (Rossi Bandit B3s) into the rack the way they suggest (back to back). They do fit, but less securely, as individual skis. This reduces the capacity to 3 pairs of skis, and not 6.
Also the height of the rack, even with my relatively short skis, is insane - the tops of the skis stand a good 2 feet above the roofline of my SUV.
To be honest.... I wish I'd bought a roof rack, and just stuck with the Thule rack for my bike.

 Excellent solution for wintersports fans with soft topsJan 31, 2010
By T. Clark

I bought this to use with my 2010 Wrangler Jeep. It works really well. It works using a base plate that fits behind your spare wheel, with mounting prong coming through the middle of the wheel. Once you have installed the bike rack and then added the ski rack it really is just one piece you have to turn, in order to un-mount or mount the entire rack. This is so much easier than mounting the rack on a roof rack as I had done previously. It looks great on the vehicle, and holds everything in place safely and securely (using the supplied locks). I would highly recommend it.

Does the jobMay 03, 2011
By David E. Mosier
"1*"
I have this rack attached to my Thule 964 Revolver.
No fit issues, very easy to install.
Used it to take 2 pairs of skis and 2 snowboards on a 2000Km (round trip) ski trip this past winter.
I like that the gear is low and easy to get at (no crawling onto the roof after a long day of skiing).
Also very easy to use....slid them in, put the bar across, secure the lock....done.
Just note that if your skis are very thick they must go in one at a time (not stacked together)
and this means that this rack can not take as many skis as it claims. With 2 pairs of skis and 2 snowboards there was not room for more.
Also since the skis/boards are exposed at the back of the vehicle, salt exposure leads to a rusting on the ski/board edges that was very upsetting for some in my group.
I think that this is a problem with all rear mounted carriers. Not just this one.

BoardrackFeb 09, 2010
By Sean A. Brass
"Teacher"
This board rack is great, because it'll hold up to 4 snowboards easily. It is made super sturdy!
The down side is you need to purchase the bike rack also.
Costly, but so worth itJan 24, 2013
By Michael
"Mikie"
It is a little pricy, but for those that just want a ski rack and already own a bike rack this is the way to go. As a side note, it will hold two pairs of skis and four snowboards if positioned right.
So already has paid for itself, in ease of use and usefulness.
