With wintertime upon most of the U.S. (where winter actually occurs), we felt it would be a prudent time to talk about the best way to mount your skis and snowboards to a set of BillieBars - to better maximize the space in your truck.
We recently partnered with Kuat, who make a wide range of aftermarket accessory mounts for vehicles, for the outdoor space. They're known for their quality, design and functionality across multiple different activities - biking, kayaking, and winter sports.
The Kuat Grip turned out to be a perfect fit for BillieBars + Ski's/Snowboards, as it clamps to our crossbars out the box.
The Grip itself has a locking core, to keep your belongings safe, and it also has a locking core to lock to your 'Bars. We know you'll bring your ski's in for the night but they'll be safe during your drive or pit stop, post mountain.
The 4 ski option holds up to 4 sets of skis or 2 snowboards. The 6 ski option holds up to 6 sets of skis or 3 snowboards. They're available in 3 different colors, black/grey, orange/grey, and grey/white.
It's simple, and effective - and looks really cool as your cruise up the Canyon to shred fat lines and party reluctantly (shout out, Warren Miller).
What it really adds up to though - is more space. Your bed is now free for everything you may need on the mountain. If you need even more space, check out a previous blog post we did on the Thule XT Cargo Box.
Have fun out there, and as always, give us a shout if you need anything!
