Summary: Not bad - doesn't fit shaped skis
Comment: I just fitted this to my 998xt rack. It fits fairly well, and feels pretty secure. It's well made, and comes with all the accessories you'll need.

The downside is that it's impossible to get my shaped skis (Rossi Bandit B3s) into the rack the way they suggest (back to back). They do fit, but less securely, as individual skis. This reduces the capacity to 3 pairs of skis, and not 6.

Also the height of the rack, even with my relatively short skis, is insane - the tops of the skis stand a good 2 feet above the roofline of my SUV.

To be honest.... I wish I'd bought a roof rack, and just stuck with the Thule rack for my bike.

Useful: Ski gear - Jacket

Keeping yourself warm and dry is most important on the slopes. And because mountain weather is unpredictable, a weather-proof jacket with a hood is advisable. Layering is important when skiing. Wear a thermal T-shirt and a warm jumper underneath your jacket.
