If you are going to choose a ski rack, make sure that they are secure, that you can easily raise and lower them and, also, that they cannot steal your material if you leave the car parked.
When transporting skis or snowboards, we have to distribute the load well in the car.
Mainly, there are four main types of ski racks: roof, magnetic, wheel or tow hook.
The most common are magnetic ski racks, since their placement is simple and you can remove them when the snow season is over.
If you choose one of these models, remember that you should not exceed 90 km/h and that the tips of the skis should always point backwards.

It is preferable to carry the skis outside the vehicle. If you ever have to transport them indoors, you should place them in a bag and carry them anchored.
In the event of an accident, they can be thrown off: at just 50 km/h, skis weighing just 5 kilos without restraint cause a force of 150 kilos.
