Ski/snowboard Rack For '98?

[Frankie_B]

It's this time of year soon when one gets his snow sports equipment out of the basement again!

Hence the question: has anyone seen a ski/snowboard rack attached to a 97-02 gen ES300's? Is it even possible?

If so, any general recommendation on what to get, anything I should know about using them?

Cheers!

When I had my ES during the winter season, I used to stick my old snowboard in the trunk and through the access area to the rear seats. I took advantage of this feature whenever I had to carry long items.

Tried that, but we have 2 snowboards and one set of skis! :cries:

So I guess it is technically possible then, i mean to mount such a thing on a Japanese sedan? I've only seen them on top of SUV's and VW wagons :D

I have a Yakima rack system that works very well. I can post a pic if you would like.

That system as well as Thule should be able to handle your needs as it definately handles 2 17' kayaks for me.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW! Nasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The few ski racks I've seen put in a wind tunnel bring the drag co-effecient of a car to the equivilent of a semi-truck. Mind you the surface area is still small, but the cd's are just crazy.

It can't be worse than driving an SUV can it? lol

The way I look at it. For the cost of a ski-rack you acn buy my Civic hatch, that still get's 40-45mpg & is a royal POS great for hauling things. LoL!
