Recommendation for Carrying 5 Pairs of Skis and 1 Snowboard on Roof Rack for 2020 Honda Odyssey

Question:

We are in search of a ski rack that will hold 5 pairs of skis and 1 snowboard for our 2020 Honda Odyssey. It has roof racks and crossbars installed. Any advice would be helpful!

I have a solution for you, but there is not a single carrier that will allow you to carry all of your skis and snowboards within a solitary apparatus. From what I'm able to determine, a factory roof rack on a 2020 Honda Odyssey will have approximately 47-1/4" of usable bar space; if you've got an aftermarket roof rack where the crossbars extend slightly past the side rails it will provide a bit more.

I recommend using 2 carriers in order to carry all of these items. RhinoRack makes some great solutions that are small enough to fit 2 carriers on factory crossbars for your 2020 Honda Odyssey. I recommend using the RhinoRack # RR573, which holds 3 pairs of skis or 2 snowboards (18-1/2" external length) and the RhinoRack # RR574 which holds 4 pairs of skis or 2 snowboards (25-5/8" external length). Pairing these two carriers together will be 44-1/8" long and provide you with the ability to carry all of the skis and snowboards on the roof rack of your 2020 Honda Odyssey. Both of these carriers are designed to fit on round, square, aero and most factory crossbars.
