Yakima Big Powder Hound As they say, the worst thing you can do to the interior of your SUV is throw some razor-sharp-edged skis and snowboards in the back, which will cut up the seats and carpets, not to mention add some deep scratches on the interior walls. Plus, who wants to sit next to a pair of pointy skis when traveling through a snow storm? So a ski rack is a must for any snow hound. Yakima's Big Powder Hound ski rack is designed for carting parabolic or wide powder skis as well as snowboards. It can tote up to four pairs of parabolic skis or four freestyle snowboards (or any combination of the two). This wide load carrying rack features a one button opening and a one-handed closing. And the big red button works even with cold, gloved hands should you find yourself loading or unloading in a snow storm or in artic temperatures. Other features include: Yakima Ski Lift (for increased binding clearance) sold separately Mounts directly to the Yakima Cross Bars and X Towers or the Load Warrior Roof Basket. 4 vertical Mighty Mounts required to mount Big Powder Hound directly to Xterra roof rack.
