Hello everyone,
I just found this ski forum and am excited to be a member of it. This year I am trying to get a lot of skiing in, and one issue I have is transporting my skis to the mountain. The drive to the mountain is somewhere between 3-4 hours. With my car, it does not have any roof racks available and the back seats do not fold down. When I put my car information on one of the roof rack sites they suggested this suction cup roof rack (https://www.seasucker.com/collections/car-racks/products/monkey-bars). I am wondering if any of you have heard of it and used it?
The other option is to get a hitch rack for my car which is available but I would want to keep my skis protected from the elements on the drive up. With a roof rack, I can use a cargo box to protect them.
And the last option would be to store them in my car. Any suggestions for keeping them secure in the rear part of the cabin? One idea I have is to put the skis in a ski bag and put the bag on an angle and wrap one of the seat belts around it.
Options:
Suction Cup Roof Rack
Hitch ski rack
Store in the rear of the cabin
Thanks
