Tips for safe and easy ski transport

Winter adventures often mean packing skis, snowboards, boots, and bulky winter gear. But without the right storage solution, getting everything to the slopes can quickly become a hassle. Here are some smart tips for transporting your ski equipment safely and comfortably.

Common challenges with ski transport

Limited space inside the car: Skis are long and awkward, taking up valuable legroom.
Roof box drawbacks: Lifting skis overhead is inconvenient and risky in icy parking lots. Roof boxes also increase drag by up to 40%, reducing efficiency and creating loud wind noise.
Keeping gear safe: Expensive skis and snowboards need secure storage to avoid theft or damage.

Why a rear mounted cargo box is better for skis

A backbox like IXTAbox is designed to make ski trips easier and more enjoyable:

Generous capacity: Up to 360 liters of storage, fitting 6–10 pairs of skis up to 190 cm in length.
Smart design for longer skis: Skis or snowboards longer than 190 cm can be mounted securely on top of the lid.
Easy access at waist height: No climbing or heavy lifting – perfect when loading in snowy or slippery conditions.
Weather protection: Scandinavian craftsmanship ensures your gear stays dry and protected from snow, slush, and road salt.
Secure and lockable: Keep your equipment safe while you’re away from the car.
