Yakima Big PowderHound

Skiing > Racks & Storage

Rock/Creek Outfitters

The Yakima Big PowderHound ski racks-snowboard racks hold up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards on your Yakima roof rack. The Big PowderHound is like the Big Powderhound SE but has Universal mounting hardware included that fits round, square, and most factory crossbars right out of the box. Just use the one-button access helping you to open it with your hands full. The soft rubber keeps skis and boards comfy, while the integrated SkiLift allows for plenty of binding clearance.

Features:

  • Automatically adjusts to variable heights to accommodate different thicknesses of ski and snowboards.
  • Can even be used on car racks with very little spread between front and rear crossbars.
  • Carrier can not be removed from cross bars when closed and locked.
  • Closes tightly with a firm grip preventing your boards from shifting around
  • Large push-button opening makes the Yakima Powderhound simple to operate even when you're wearing gloves
  • New softer rubber compound gently holds skis and snowboards inside the Yakima Powderhound, which also improves ease of loading and carrying capacity.
