The Yakima Big Powderhound snowboard / ski rack includes universal mounts making it compatible with virtually all factory roof rack cross bars. That's right the Yakima Big Powder Hound mounts directly to factory installed roof racks and any after-market base rack cross bars including Yakima Racks round bars, Thule Racks square, oval Rapid Aero & Xsporter truck rack bars, Inno roofrack crossbars etc. Includes a pair of Yakima SKS Locks for simultaneously locking equipment inside carrier and the carrier itself to the car rack crossbars. During the warmer months this carrier is ideal as a waterski carrier, wakeboard rack or fishing rod rack. Packaged as a pair for mounting to the front and rear crossbars. Please Note: Also available in the smaller Yakima Powderhound Ski Rack version to carry up to four pairs of skis or two snowboards (mix and match too).

Good for the price.
this Yakima Big Powderhound review by D.Deignan
vehicle year/make/model: 2008 Mazda 3
item(s) transported: skis,boards
I bought the Yakima Big Powderhound last winter and was able to put it to good use. It was easy to install, is nice looking, and seems sturdy enough. No major issues so far, just a minor one. Maybe mine is an exception, but the spring that is meant to hold the rack open could be stronger. This doesn’t affect the overall function of the rack, just makes loading and unloading more difficult than I feel they intended. Otherwise, this is a very decent product that, considering it can carry six pairs of skis, is a great deal. I would recommend it.
Does the Job

The Big Powderhound may not be as snazzy as the Fat Cat, but for sixty bucks less, I can handle that. It does a good job, even when fully loaded. Clamps down easily and securely. The lift feature is nice too. I’m happy with it.
Works Great, Hard to Put On /Remove
this Yakima Big Powderhound review by Nil21
vehicle year/make/model: 1999 Ford Expedition
item(s) transported: Snowboards!!!
So I bought this for the 09-10 snow season. We first assembled it and threw it on the roof of our 1999 Expedition. It took about 40 minutes to attach it the first time. After which it takes about 15-20 minutes to take it on or off if you know what you're doing. This makes it a little hard to remove or take off easily. If you have a tall car I might advise getting one easier to remove (I learned the hard way that the truck will not make it into/out of the garage with this assembled.) Over all a great product though, no problems with it attached. Carries 4 boards easily.
