The Best Ski Accessories for 2026
Oct 1, 2025
There are a handful of ways to transport skis with a vehicle, but a rack is arguably the simplest, especially with the Kuat Switch. Available in two sizes to fit either four or six pairs of skis, the Switch is compatible with most round, square and aero bars and comes with a security key for added peace of mind should you stop off for après on the way home. Inside the rack, proprietary rubber holds your precious sticks in place and a quick-release system makes taking them out of the rack simple, even with gloves on. The matte black finish and low-profile design make you forget you even have it up there.
