Ski & Snowboarding Images, Videos & Gear

It’s been a while since we’ve talked about ski and snowboard racks, so I wanted to write about Yakima FatCat6 Ski & Snowboard Rack. The Yakima FatCat6 is a popular rack, especially for those who have oversized skis. Mounting to the top or your car or SUV, the FatCat6 has a capacity of 6 pairs of fat skis or 4 snowboards. Its unique hinge system keeps your equipment low and compact, for better efficiency. And, it has an over-sized push-button operation, so it’s easy to use even if you’re wearing your gloves. It mounts to round, square and most factory crossbars.

Read on to see what people are saying about the Yakima FatCat6.

Carmelle G. in Lebanon, CT, gives this rack 4 out of 5 stars. She says, "Installation was easy enough. the rack is easy to use, lock and unlock. No whistling - wouldn't even know it was there (if I didn't already know it was there)."

SkierMom gives this rack 5 out of 5 stars. She says, “We have a big family and have a lot of skis to carry and needed a rack that was easy to use and at the same time secure. So far, we have had no problems with this great rack. Unlike other ski racks we've had prior, you don't have to struggle to close the thing when it’s loaded with skis. With our older model, you literally had to hang from the thing to close it when it was loaded. Not so with the Fat Cat. The release button makes opening the rack just as easy. We are very pleased with this purchase and would certainly recommend it anyone.”

Wendy W. gives this rack 5 out of 5 stars. She says, “I just used my new Yakima Fat Cat 6 for the first time and it was awesome. The top half is solid and is so easy to open and close. It easily carries 6 pairs of skis also locks very easily. In my opinion, there is no better rack out there. I definitely look forward to many years of service from this rack!”
