Specs:
The Thule SnowPack lets you carry up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards on the roof of your vehicle. The low-profile carrier adjusts to the size of your skis and snowboards to reduce the height of the rack, and it installs quickly and easily with the SpeedLink mounting system. 2 sets of T-track extensions let you raise the carrier to accommodate skis and boards with tall bindings. And large push-button releases make it easy to load and unload, even with gloves on.
Vertical Spring System
The SnowPack's smart vertical spring system gives the carrier a low profile and improves aerodynamics. The spring system adjusts to the thickness of the skis or snowboards you're loading and only raises the top of the carrier as high as needed to secure your gear. Similarly, when unloaded the spring system compresses to reduce the overall carrier height.
The spring system is made of an ultra-soft rubber that secures your skis and snowboards in place. The rubber lines the top and bottom of the arms and protects your gear from being scratched or scuffed by the carrier.
SpeedLink Mounting System
The carrier installs with the SpeedLink universal mounting system. Simply set the carrier on top of your crossbars and run the stainless steel straps under them. Then hook the straps onto the brackets on the other side of the mounting assembly and tighten them down with the turn knob.
2 Sets of Raisers
The SnowPack comes with 2 sets of T-track raisers to protect your roof from skis or snowboards with tall bindings. To install, slide the channel bolts into your crossbar's T-track and snap the raisers onto the bottom of the carrier. Then set the carrier on your crossbars, running the channel bolts up through the holes in the raisers. Lastly, remove the pad inside the carrier and then tighten the cam levers to the channel bolts and throw the cam levers.
The 2 sets of raisers can be used individually or together, depending on the size of the gear you're transporting.
Oversized Push-Buttons
The carrier opens with oversized push-buttons on the end of each arm. The large buttons release with a natural upward motion, so they're easy to operate even while wearing heavy, winter gloves.
One-Key Security
The SnowPack comes equipped with Thule's One-Key System. The locks in the carrier's arms and the SpeedLink mounting assembly are all keyed alike, so you'll only have to keep track of one key. One-Key System lock cylinders can be swapped out to make all of your Thule gear keyed alike.

This low profile carrier transports up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards. Vertical spring system accommodates thick snowboards, and raisers protect your roof from skis with tall bindings. Includes universal mounting hardware and integrated locks.So easy to install onto Thule AeroBlade. Quality materials and convenient design. No significant noise noticeable from wind resistance when driving. etrailer provided great shipment/notification support and was great resource for how-to videos, commentary.
Better than I expected. Only comes with four core locks so be aware of that if you want six like I did. Bought two more locks from Thule with the same key #. Mounted this carrier on my Rhino Rack. Perfect fit and looks great. Would highly recommend.
I purchased these ski racks (Thule SnowPack 6) a year ago (November 2017) and they been excellent.
I live in CO and I make regular trips up to the mountains during the winter and these racks made a big difference with the ease of getting to the ski resorts. The SpeedLink system allows me to install or remove the racks on in just a few minutes, which has been nice because I took them off for the summer (and am about to put them on again in a few days).
The racks seem to be well built and feel very sturdy, and don't show any signs of wear after one season (driving the entire winter with the racks on). They also securely hold your skis and snowboards in place and you will not have to worry about losing them on the highway (I've shook/rocked my snowboard with most of my weight while in was in the rack and it didn't budge).
If you are a skier/snowboarder that makes multiple trips up to the resorts in the winter, I'd highly recommend these ski racks.
Install was straightforward. Instructions were clear. The only thing you actually have to think about is measuring the cuts on the rubber strip that covers the channel on the top of the bar.
I got this setup to carry skis up to the snow without having to fold down seats and listen to them rattling around for the whole ride. The carrier looks great on the car and does its job well. Had a few pairs of skis up there last weekend to test it out. The rack functioned perfectly and I didn't even notice any additional noise due to the rack or the skis.
The carrier is very easy to operate even with thick gloves on. It has a very positive click when fully closed so you know it's all the way shut. Then, once you lock it, you're confident that the skis aren't going anywhere.
Good communication & selection for etrailer plus quick shipping & arrival, however, the Thule packing box should have been placed inside another box for addtl protection. Mine arrived beat-up, taped together and was likely a return from another customer. I confirmed all parts were there so I went ahead & installed on my 2019 Toyota Highlander XLE-AWD.
The ski rack system was for our daughter. A Christmas present. And the Christmas present to me was the instructional videos that etrailer has produced to help guide a person through the installation. Great job all !!
This roof rack for skis/snowboards was very easy to install and use. We put one board and two pairs of skis quite easily.
etrailer shipped this product out to me nearly instantly and it arrived during the busy holiday season ahead a schedule a few days later. Very dependable and easy to use. This is the second time I have purchased through eTrailer and I will certainly come back again!
Easy to use web site. Delivery was prompt. Product was exactly as ordered and easy to install. I was very pleased and would definitely use etrailer.com to order again.
Product was great as I expected.
etrailer service was above and beyond. My unit was missing a small spacer that wasn't needed for my car but could have been needed for the next car. I contacted etrailer and they immediately contacted the manufacturer for replacement and the spacer was received quickly.
Awesome. Easy to install. Great quality.
Works just like it is supposed to. Can't ask for more.
Easy to put together and to put on my car. Shipped and arrived on time. etrailer did a great job of keeping me updated via email about my order. Very happy!
We love this carrier. It is so easy to just put our skis on top, lock them and head to the slopes or the XC course. They have help up wonderfully and we expect to use them for many years.
Stellar product, super fast delivery. This company earned a repeat customer last time, this time a lifetime customer!
Easy to use and install. Product works great.
The product was easy to order and the price was fair. The delivery was sooner than promised! Very happy with my order.
Very prompt and caring service!! Thank u
Arrived quickly and easily. Easy ordering.
This rack easily fits 5 sets of skis for my family. It is FAIRLY easy to take on and off (could be faster if we didn't have to turn turn turn the dials). My biggest complaint is that as soon as my skis are out of it, I HAVE to remove it from my car (SUV). The noise of it empty on my roof is so loud when I am on the highway it is AWFUL! It's like it vibrates my whole car and is super loud. It only does it when there are no skis in it. It is frustrating since it would be way easier just to leave it on all winter taking my skis on and off when we need to, not the entire rack.
Just put this snowboard rack on my 2011 4runner mounted to Thule Aeroblade roof rack. Easy to install and use. Quality seems good. Like the look. No noise issues when driving. No complaints so far. Overall satisfied!

The ski racks have been working very well. The SpeedLink system has been great as it allows me to take the racks off easily 5 min during the summer and back on again for winter. Looking forward to more snowboarding seasons with these racks!
