When trekking through the mountains on a ski/snowboard trip, dragging along skis and snowboards can be quite cumbersome. Between the big racks gives plenty of room for all your winter sports gear.
Types of Roof Racks
* Bare Roof: Some cars come without the addition of roof racks, but companies make racks that bolt directly into the roof of the car. They come in three sizes (36", 52" and 62") so they fit everything from the compact to the colossal.
* Half Rails: Other cars come with only rails on the sides of the car. They run parallel to each other and provide the perfect base for a full car mounting system. To complete the transformation, all you need is a set of crossbars.
* Full Rails: Most cars come with all rails sides and crossbars. To complete the installation of a ski/snowboard rack, just clamp on the purchased rack.
Roof Bags
Roof bags can be attached to the roof of a car. Unlike the car racks which are just used for larger items (skis, snowboards, surfboards etc.) the roof bags are more contained. They offer greater protection from the elements from the elements and are perfect for a trip through the snow.
