The Yakima Powderhound Snowboard Rack / Ski Rack (8003071) features an improved appearance while still maintaining its classic proven design. A superb quality, value-priced ski & snowboard carrier that easily handles up to 4 pairs of skis or 2 snowboards (mix and match skis & snowboards too). The Yakima Powder Hound ski / snowboard rack includes universal mounting attachment clamps making it compatible with virtually all factory roof rack cross bars. Indeed, the Yakima Powderhound connects directly to factory installed roof racks and any after-market base rack cross bars including Yakima Racks round bars, Inno roofrack crossbars and Thule Racks square, elliptical Rapid Aero & Xsporter truck rack bars etc. Lockable with two Yakima SKS Locks (not included; see accessory add-ons below). During the warmer months this rack doubles as an excellent fishing rod rack, waterski carrier or wakeboard rack. Packaged as a pair for mounting to the front and rear crossbars. Please Note: Also available in the larger Yakima Big Powderhound Ski Carrier version to carry up to six pairs of skis or four snowboards (mix and match too).
- Includes universal mounts that allow the 8003071 Yakima Powderhound to attach directly to virtually all factory installed roof racks and any after-market base rack crossbars including Yakima Racks round bars, inno Racks cross bars and Thule Racks square, oval Rapid Aero & Xsporter truck rack load bars etc.
- All-new updated appearance for a stylish and modern look.
- Big oversized push-button opening makes the Yakima Powderhound super easy to operate even with mittens or gloves on (very nice when frigid outside!); ratcheting closure adjusts easily to fit over skis and snowboards as needed.
- Soft rubber compound snuggles and gently cradles skis and snowboards inside the Yakima Powderhound, which also improves ease of loading and carrying capacity.
- Automatically adjusts to variable heights to accommodate different thicknesses of ski and snowboards.
- Closes tightly with a firm grip preventing snowboards and skis from shifting around, no matter how many you are carrying.
- Includes integrated Ski Lift adapters for increased binding clearance above your car roof.
- Holds up to 4 pairs of skis or 2 snowboards and you can mix and match. Also carries ski poles.
- Carrier can not be removed from crossbars when closed and locked. Really upsets low-down dirty thieves hoping to run off with the rack itself.
- Designed with enough room for shaped skis and freestyle snowboards.
- Can even be used on car racks with very little spread between front and rear crossbars.
- Lockable with two Yakima Locks (not included; see accessory add-ons below).
- Includes all hardware. Tool-free installation and easy-to-follow instructions manual included.
- Yakima Racks Lifetime Warranty!

So far so good!
this Yakima Big Powderhound review by Nic
vehicle year/make/model: 1994 Subaru Legacy
item(s) transported: Snowboard
I just bought the Powderhound by Yakima. It went on my factory bars without any hassles whatsover. The clamp that attaches to the bars is intuitive and works great. When I go riding, I'm always in a great mood, so I'm probably not the most impartial critic, but I can say that so far, so good! I haven't had any problems and the rack does what it is supposed to do. Having the locks is awesome because then both the carrier is secured to the car rack crossbars and the boards are locked inside the Powder Hound.
