5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic product, February 4, 2008

By	Greg Peterson (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Big Powder Hound is a great rack for hauling multiple pairs of ski's or snowboards. Mounting was extremely quick & easy as well as being secure. Construction seems robust enough to last for a long time. I did add the sks locks & they have worked great as well. However I did have 1 lock freeze up on a particularly nasty day, might want to keep a can of spray on ice melter handy to deal with that possible issue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Rack.......Carrier I mean, January 16, 2009

By	sleepy "sleepy" (sleepy) - See all my reviews

Very simple to install. Doesn't require additional tools. Little apprehensive about what it could carry but pleasantly surprised that it carried 4 boards or combination boards and skis as described.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy & Long-Lasting, May 23, 2008

By	Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This rack is very sturdy and fits my Toyota Tacoma perfectly. I highly suggest you have a manufacturer install it properly (REI did mine for about $200, but it was worth not having the hassle). Also the bars are easily taken off with the hex wrench during non-winter seasons, so UV rays don't deteriorate the rubber. It is noisy in the wind, so that takes some getting used to. This ski rack also comes in a 2-pair model. Extra keys are included. Yakima and Thule have great reputations for racks.
