Snowpack is great!!
Use it to haul snowboards, skis, fishing rods, and lacrosse sticks. Super sturdy and durable. Locks keep everything safe & secure. Great investment!!
Quick Delivery & Very Easy Installation
I'm very impressed with the entire process. Ordering from the website was simple, Thule made it easy to see what products do and don't fit my vehicle. Delivery was estimated for the end of the week however, the boxes were on my doorstep 48 hours later which made me super happy. Installation was incredibly easy with very clear instructions and the necessary tools to get the job done. I'm very impressed with the quality of the materials used and how tightly everything fits together. I had been concerned that we wouldn't be able to have the roof-window open when loaded because of noise but I'm happy to report that these Aero Bars and SnowPack M ski holders make minimal noise.
Looks so Stealth
Very easy to install. Looks so good on the car. Very low profile.
Great ski rack!
Great ski rack! Easy to open/close/lock. Attached to my factory crossbars without issue, and is so easy to put on I typically take it off when not skiing. I haven't put more than 2 pairs of skis on it, but they fit with room to spare. I didn't notice any increased noise either.
Terrible, unusable with WingBar Evo
I am trying to install this on my WingBar Evo and it is completely unusable. First it requires using large extender blocks that would make it sit very high above the rack, for no obvious reason, but importantly the bolts are simply too short to connect to the awkward plastic attachment bolts. I doubt that I could ever get it installed, and if I did it would be an absolute nightmare to remove and reinstall - not something I am willing to deal with. I have purchased and used a ton of roof racks and rack accessories over 20+ years - I've used Yakima, Thule and Kuat rack parts on 6+ different vehicles. On those vehicles I've used numerous bike mounts, ski mounts and cargo boxes. I've never experienced such a bad product as this one - avoid at all costs. Honestly one of the worst products (of any kind) I've ever purchased.
4 downhill skis unlikely
It is very unlikely that four pairs of typical downhill skis will fit in this rack. I took my my families skis with me when I went to look a this product. They had tip and tail widths between close to 5" (pretty common now days) and they wouldn't all fit on. Thule must be basing the 4 ski capacity on cross country skis. One reviewer of the 6 capacity model had similar comments. You probably want to make sure your skis will fit if you plan on loading 4 pairs.
Terrible Instructions
The instructions are terrible. Instead of clear and concise instructions, the company cheaply tried to combined all of its different models and languages into one set of instructions. They don't have any words in them at all so you're basically trying to follow terrible drawings. Additionally, the company hasn't posted a video of how to do it anywhere. Companies that care so little don't deserve my business so I am returning my Snowpack.
Just ok
What we really like about Thule is the compatibility of all the products to work together. Creates a sleek look that is not bulky or cumbersome. The ski fixture itself is just OK, had a Yakima before this and that felt extremely durable and secure. This has a little too much play in the hinges and when open will rock from side to side. Locking is also odd but that is when it feels the most durable.
Great ski rack
It came with all the parts for multiple bar mounts and big cool surprise, a full set of locks!! That was not described in the product details, so an added bonus. I had it assembled and installed in about an hour. Looks good, closes tight. I would not call it aerodynamic and there is a bit of wind whistle at lower speeds but it meets or exceeds all on my expectations.
Durable, Easy to Use, Reliable
This ski rack feels very durable. I like how easy it is to open and operate. Closing it takes a little muscle if you have it full with 4 skis. It just fits our two powder skis and two kids skis. Completely removing the rack when you're not using it is simple but takes some time. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.
