Here at LTP Sports we spend more time around wide tires than wide skis, but it appears that some market trends are universal. The ski industry, like the bike industry, has been trending toward beefier equipment of late, with much the same result. Just like wide tires, wide skis offer better control and ultimately more fun for many.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yakima, always the forward-thinking company, are on top of the trend and have devised a solution. The new FatCat+<\/a> rack is 4″ wider to accommodate today’s all-terrain skis. The extra space means that you can take more friends, no matter what equipment they’re using. The DoubleJoint hinge means that the FatCat+ will fit thicker skis and boards as well, with room for up to six pairs of 136mm skis!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for the most aerodynamic setup possible, the new SmarT-Slot Kit<\/a> lowers the height of FatCat, by mounting the rack directly to your t-slot crossbar. If you have a Yakima JetStream<\/a>, FlushBar<\/a>, or RailBar<\/a>, or a Thule Aeroblade crossbar setup, the new SmarT-Slot kit will work, and give your rack a lower-profile, sleeker look.<\/p>\n

The new Yakima FatCat ski and snowboard rack is available through your local LTP Sports dealer.<\/a> They can help you install the rack, as well as the base rack and crossbars for your vehicle.<\/p>\n
