Anyone have any snowboard racks that they use? I need something thats not too expensive, but will keep all my stuff in. Anyone have any suggestions? Im new at snowboarding racks for your car. So any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks guys!

Just a note: i searched and there were a couple topics come up and im assuming everyone that looked into it backed out when they found out the rails by theirself are 300 some dollars. than you have to pay for the application as far as what you want to put on them. screw that. unless anyone knows of any for cheap, holla. thanks.

 

why don't you just use the ski trunk passthrough?

 

somebody modded it by removing the plastic surround including the door and were able to fit a snowboard in a bag through it...fyi.

 

I can get two 157's through the backseat with no bindings or base plates.

 

i have subs back there, not worth taking them out. i dont need alternatives i just want a roof rack. haha im sick of throwing it in the back seat, i need something easier. thankss

 

no bindings. wow thats got to be a huge pain in the ass, putting your bindings back on every time. im pretty sure i can fit my 156 in the back seat, but id like to have more than one passenger in my car when im going up.

as for a rack, you can do something cheap. my uncle had a rack on his frontier for surfboards that was just on with straps and it worked perfectly, i didnt notice what kind it was, but i remember it looked cheap. and it was really easy to take off without damaging your car.

just look around, youll find something.

 

Don't take my 10's out yo, just get one of the trunk mount units like ajtcl had for his bike

 

my mom was looking and found this. haha its magnetic. not sure how i feel about it....

Hey Ryan, have you ever been snowboarding up and Seven Springs?

 

I've been looking into these:

Jay Peak up in VT. just got 3 ft of Pow, for any NE riders, this is as close as youll get to west coast snow:

www.Jaypeakresort.com

Check out pictures of the day

 

^Vermont huh, hmm.

Do they allow snowmobiles at that resort? Me and my dad need to decide where we go this winter.

 

He works there now

 

^Damn, lucky kid.

I'm checking their snow report right now. I'm so eager to get out sledding.

 

yea they have the VAST trails nearby at Jay National Park, seriously though, go on youtube and type in Jay peak Powder and youll find out what im talking about.

I can't say enough about the place...Fair priced, not to many lines, they have the only tram on the east coast that holds 60 people, the glades are the best around, the best powder in New England and a real laid back atmosphere...not to mention they have some legit backcountry you can do, just make sure to ask the locals and theyll take you, dont go on your own...you can get lost easily... I've skiied just about evrywhere around here and once I found Jay a few years back, it's my go-to location, I rarely go anywhere else now, adn when i do, I feel let down.


OH, and some of the best local micro-brewerys around....nothing better after coming home after riding all day and popping open a local beer.

 

Here you go man:

^Man that sounds nice. It'd be about a 12 hour drive though, which kinda sucks when you're driving a V-8 and hauling two sleds behind you.

Last year we drove up to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and it was the most beautiful place I've ever been to. The trails never stopped, the frozen falls were amazing, the locals were all friendly, and all the towns were snowmobile-friendly. You could just drive right up to the pump. They also had parking spots at all the restaurants for all the sleds. Riding on a single trail was like driving on the highway.

Thanks for the info though. I'm going to see if I can hit up Seven Springs this weekend.

 

UP of Michigan rules, I used to live in detroit and that's where all the yuppies go for their vaca's, so beautiful

 

^Hah, I can't blame them. Like you said, it's a beautiful. The falls are even more amazing frozen.

 

Ill be up at 7 Springs Friday and than i work Saturday, maybe Sunday. So holla at me(check PMs) and maybe we can meet up. What will you be doin? Boardin or skiin? We got a base of 10-24" right now. Should be a lot more by Friday. Im pumped.

anyone got any links to any SNOWBOARD RACKS. PLEASSEEEE. Thanks

 

hahahahahaha east coast snow is a joke. theres no such thing. come to washington and oregon. maybe a little canada. you dont know what snow is till youve been out here. youll know what i mean when youre buried in powder up to your nose and its so light you can just climb out.

 

how bout this:

more info here:http://www.sportrack.com/sb-4

You can also try to find other retailers, but that looks like the best design for non-roof rack cars. If you look at the 2nd link, you can get the exact parts for your car and it does work with coupes.

you can check this out as well:

MOST EC snow is a joke..I've been to Whitler a few times...reallly nice, but its hit or miss.

This EC Snow...isn't a joke: http://youtube.com/watch?v=sJZxTR7cyLc

 

haha you call that powder? check out stevens pass and mt baker, thats where i usually ride. ive been to whistler too, i went last spring break and it was like 45-50 degrees at base and like 25 and two feet of powder at the glacier. personally i wouldnt call it hit or miss, seeing that whistler is open all year because its on an active glacier, where it snows about 8 or 9 months out of the year.

 

I know what youre saying, but with over 100 inches so far this year at Jay, thats mroe snow than anywhere in the US right now, I juts came back from there yesterday, Knee deep...i guess thatsn not saying much with what you guys get, but knee deep and in the back country this early in the year, with over 100 inches...on the east coast...ill take it.

My uncle went to whistler like 2 years ago and it pretty much rained the whole time and a lot of the snow was real slushy and shit, thats why i said hit or miss, when I went it was really nice cept for the alst day wherre it poured....Jackson Hole on the other hand, is where it's at.

 

id kill to go to whistler any day. we dont have much snow yet, but it will dump soon. did you hear about mt bakers world record snowfall a few years back? 1,140 inches.

 

^Jesus that's a ridiculous amount of powder.

 

sure is. im telling you, east coast snow really is a joke. its pretty much non existent if you compare it to around here.

 

Ryan, any word on the snowmobile trails at Seven Springs?
