Best storage box for skis and snowboards

Winter sports gear takes up a lot of space – skis, snowboards, boots, helmets, and bags. Choosing the right storage box for your car makes all the difference between a stressful trip and a smooth adventure.

Roof box: the traditional choice

Most people think of a roof box when it comes to ski trips. Roof boxes are long and slim, designed to fit skis or snowboards. But they also come with drawbacks:

Difficult to reach when loading and unloading
Creates wind noise at higher speeds
Increases fuel consumption and reduces range for EVs
Can be unsafe if not mounted properly

Towbar mounted box: the modern alternative

A rear mounted cargo box, like IXTAbox, solves many of these problems. Instead of lifting heavy equipment over your head, you load at waist height – quicker, safer, and easier.

Why it’s better for skis and snowboards:

IXTAbox offers up to 360 liters of storage capacity, providing ample room to fit between 6 and 10 pairs of skis – with lengths up to 190 cm.
For longer skis or snowboards, you can even securely mount them on the lid of the box, making loading safe, easy, and accessible.
Aerodynamic shape reduces drag and noise compared to roof boxes.
Crash tested and mounted to the strongest part of the car – the tow hitch.
Keeps your gear secure and your trip stress free.
