Thule SnowCat Ski & Snowboard Rack Customer Reviews
22 Customer Reviews
When stormy winter weather heaps fresh powder on your favorite resort’s slopes, you’ve got to get to the mountain. It’s okay to call in sick at work, but it’s not okay to stuff your skis and snowboards into your back seat. Let them ride up top where they belong, cradled in the cushioned arms of the Thule SnowCat Ski & Snowboard Rack. It holds up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards.
Thule designed the SnowCat specifically to mount onto factory side rails, so you don’t need to buy a full set of crossbars just to carry your snow gear. The powerful feet grab hold of your roof’s side rails with a vice-like grip, and the SnowCat is adjustable to work with a wide range of roofs.
Plus, you don’t have to worry about ski thieves walking off with your equipment while you’re in the lodge sipping hot coco and chatting with snow bunnies. Each arm of your SnowCat Ski & Snowboard Rack stays secure using the included Thule One Key locks. Best of all, Thule backs your SnowCat rack with a Lifetime Warranty.
Our 10+ Thule SnowCat Ski & Snowboard Rack customer reviews have an average rating of 4.50 out of 5 stars. To see specific reviews about your vehicle, please select your year, make and model from the drop down above.

I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty. I don't haul bikes or anything else, so I wanted something just for the snowboards without having to buy the crossbars separately. My only complaint, if you want to call it that were the installation instructions. It's just pictures. Like most other reviewers, it took me few minutes to figure out how to get the first one installed. Once figured out, it's a snap. They worked perfectly. I would definitely recommend them.

Crossbars installed on our Lexus would be exorbitant. This is a cost-effective, though not cheap, solution. Two 4-hour away ski trips already with no issues. My only complaint so far is that the directions were pictures only. It was a bit confusing without words.

Instructions were pretty simple, installation was easy. A bit time consuming. Everything you need comes in the box, allen wrench and all. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to save money.

I bought this to install on my wife's Murano for a cross country trip and it worked very well. I have an arm in a sling from a recent surgery and was able to install it with ease. One knock would be the size. It seems much taller than other ski racks I have seen. I was a bit unnerved when pulling into a low ceiling parking garage. This may not be an issue for most. All in all I most certainly recommend this product.

It exceeded my expectations. Very high quality design, and it clamps down tightly on my skis. Nice. Interestingly, I detected virtually NO wind noise with this installed on the roof of my '08 Volvo. Even at 70 mph. This was *without* skis loaded on it. The car itself is so whisper-quiet inside that I was expecting to hear some wind noise. The four allen-head bolts that do the final clamping onto my factory roof rails take forever to tighten or loosen, due to the limited access to them.

I really like the looks of the rack. The price was right, and I was able to install it myself. I am female and that says a lot about the ease. Now, I can't wait to hit the road and do some skiing.

Hi, It should work just fine if you have a base rack system installed on the roof.

I just installed the Toyota Factory side rails on my Venza but they are flush with the top of my vehicle(there is no gap under the side rails like some SUV). My Roof rack also has crossbars if that helps? Will this work with my vehicle? I plan on putting 2-4 boards on my roof? Thx!

Hi, If your crossbars are round or square in shape, you should have no issues.
