Yakima FreshTrack Ski and Snowboard Carrier Review - 2021 Volkswagen Atlas- Video
Hey, it's Ethan here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Yakima FreshTrack Ski and Snowboard Carrier and how it fits on our 2021 Volkswagen Atlas. This is the four pair of ski or two board option, but there is a six ski, four board option available as well. So you've got your Atlas and you're looking for a way to get your skis and snowboards where you need them to go, but they're pretty long and they do tend to get icy and snowy, especially after you use them, so you might wanna get them up on the roof, and a ski and snowboard carrier like this is a great option to do it, especially on the Atlas with our raised rails, super easy to get the crossbars on there and the roof rack as well as the carrier, so let's check out how it works. First thing we'll do is get the carrier opened up, so you can just do it with the palm of your hand, super easy, the whole end cap is a button basically, so if you have large gloves or mittens on in the cold, super easy still to get them open, and they're hinged so they stay open, I don't have to keep holding them while I load or unload my gear. On the inside, you can see that there is nice rubber padding on the top and the bottom, not only to protect your gear, but it's gonna keep it from sliding around when you're driving. more

Yakima FatCat EVO Ski and Snowboard Carrier Review - 2021 Volkswagen Atlas- Video
Hey, it's Ethan here at etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Yakima FatCat EVO Ski and Snowboard carrier, and how it works with our 2021 Volkswagen Atlas. This is the four ski, two board option, but there is a six ski, four board option as well, and they can double as fishing rod holders in the warmer weather seasons, so you can use 'em year round if you want to. Basically, with the Atlas, we have enough room in the back that you could probably fit a ski and snowboard, if you wanted to, but they get long, and they get bulky, and they get messy, and icy, and snowy. So if you want a better way to carry them, getting them up on the roof with a ski and snowboard carrier is a great way to do that, and keep them secure at the same time. So let's check out a little bit more about how it works. more
