Roof Rack Recommendation For 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness For Carrying Ski Rack

Question:

Is there a standalone ski hitch/arm that you would recommend as an all in one solution? I have a 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness trim.

There is a simple set up you can use for yoru 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness to carry skis, which is a roof rack that you can attach a ski carrier to. Since your Outback Wilderness has raised side rails, you just need a couple parts for the entire rack set up, which are the feet that attach to the side rails, and then the crossbars that attach to the feet.

For the rack, the best option for your Subaru is from Rhino-Rack because it is the best overall value. Rhino-Rack's quality is equal to similar brands, but at a better price point because you aren't paying extra for a specific brand name printed on the crossbars. Here is all you'll need for the roof rack:

- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2

- Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs # RRSX100

So that takes care of the roof rack, then to carry skis or snowboards, Rhino-Rack has a carrier that attaches either with its clamps, or fits directly in the T-slots of the crossbars so you can mount it whichever way you like. You can choose from two options, depending on how many skis/boards you want to carry:

- 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards: Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR576

- 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards: Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR574
