Just wondering if any of you lug snowboards/skis and gear around, as I am looking for suggestions for myself. I really dont want to put a bunch of boards in the truck, especially after. Its too nice and leathery and all black for that nonsense. :banghead:

I like this:

or

I prefer the second one because I bet it would look BA cruising with boards in it - but so stupid when theyre not, so Id want to take them off all the time.

Any of you have pictures of what you use if you do?
Not looking for one of those big box ones.

I do regularly in the winter. I have a rubber rear Matt I put them on most of the time. I also have Thule 4 board roof rack I clamp to the factory racks.

Do you have any pictures of both? Would appreciate it!

I use a board bag - keeps both the boards and Tahoe looking good. With the rear seats out, it fits right between the captains chairs. I easily fit 4 boards like that, two bags, each with two boards. There are tons of options for bags, I have Burton, slightly padded. Probably was about $60.

I have a roof top cargo carrier I use. I opted against the exposed type carriers to keep my equipment free of dirty sprAy of my truck or others. Not nice to to get to the hill and than take your board down I find it covered in dirty road spray. However, the exposed ones especially the hitch mount one looks ba.

Board bag in the back retains must of the melting snow. Not to mention a great way to keep your actual board safe during travel.

+1 on the Yakima, i have a older set of powder-hounds. I think they look better on a black truck.

I only use them on trips when the truck is packed with wife, friends and bags and no room for boards and skis. 90% of the time i go to the mountain alone and i keep my board inside (my audi A4) because I just dont like all the road grime and salt kicking up on my gear
