Ski Rack for your Motorcycle
Because getting there should be fun too.

The best ski resorts are located at the top of mountains. The most fun vehicle for negotiating tight mountain roads is a motorcycle. The motorcycle mounted ski rack will allow you to enjoy the ride to and from the mountain as much as you enjoy the day on the mountain. Why putt-putt up the hill in your oversized SUV when you can zip along, dragging your knees and generally having the time of your life?

Our patented system holds one ski and pole on each side of the bike, behind the front wheel, extending a bit past the back wheel at a slight upward angle, above the exhaust pipe. Our sub-frame mounted rack holds your boots and other miscellaneous items.

Disclaimer- not recomended for the first day after it snows.

       First day? Places I ski at always have snow at least in the parking lot. Even a little bit of snow is a bad thing*. This being said, I've bunned the idea assuming you will find alternate means of transportation once you hit snow.   

       *"a bad thing" is a trademark of the Martha Stewart Living In Prison corporation.

       My father has a trailer he tows behind his motorcycle that fits two mountain bikes, so he can for a ride get there, go on a ride, then ride home. I dont know anyone who like to ride in the cold nor would it be safe to ride after to much skiing.

       Somehow I doubt this is true when the roads are wet and icy, as is often the case in the vicinity of ski-able areas.

       I used to have a spear gun rack on my motorcycle. Did get me a few looks.

       I have succefully carried my windsurf board on my bike, and have (disaster!) tried to carry my hang glider. It's a lot of fun to drive a bike over ice. Very tricky. Why not use the skis, side by side on the bike, to slide on the snow? (how, that's a snowmobile!).
