      Roof racks expose gear to cold winds and reduce vehicle clearance. Hitch racks keep gear low but risk road salt and slush. Which mount better protects expensive skis during winter travel?

      For winter trips, hitch racks solve a major problem: roof access becomes risky when you’re standing on icy surfaces or heavy snow buildup. But a good rack isn’t just about space — anti-sway and locking mechanisms matter more than style. The model at hitch ski rack gives safer loading height and better stability, which protects both expensive gear and your vehicle from vibration damage.
