Sometimes I wish I had the cold weather package on my car, that way I'd get that cool sock thing that goes over the back seat fold down armrest. Haha. I've found that Yakima makes excellent racks, even though Thule is just about the same. I think Thule has made a market for their huge roof "missiles" than they have with the smaller racks. I know that Thule bike racks are a little better than Yakima's, but as far as ski racks go I think they're both about the same.

Sweet, I just might have to get me one of those socks, no way I'm putting a rack on my car. Haha. I'm a 2 planker as well, riding on Head Monster I.M.75's with Railflex. I hate the park anymore, too many posers these days, I'm all about big mountain and going FAST. I was a race coach at the local hill here last year, kick in the ***.

RE: yakima vs. thule
I skied for 25 years....loved it....
Took a snowboard lesson one day just for the hell of it....loved it...
bought snowboard equipment and started to do both...Ski in the morning, switch gear, snowboard in the afternoon.
Got tired of lugging so much equipment around. Said bye-bye to the ski equipment 5 years ago.
Hit my first 360 at 48......I think I'll have to be happy with that....no plans on 540s...
I've owned Yakima and Thule...both are excellent systems. I prefer Yakima...rounded load bars and how the bike and snowboard rack attach.
Opening day with my friends at Killington Oct 29th...2.5 feet of powder!!!
