Yakima Big PowderHound Snow Roof Rack DO NOT USE

Item #YAK0220 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Nice, basic, dependable rack

By Backcountry.com Employee August 5, 2008

Have had the Big PowderHound for over 2 years now and have used the rack during the last 2 winters. The rack is pretty basic, but it's worked great up to this point. My rack is attached to the factory crossbars on my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee w/ Mighty Mounts. The only gripe I have w/ the Big PowderHound is that I can't carry snowboards bindings-down because there isn't enough clearance between roof and the rack, but I doubt that most other cars/SUVs would have the same problem. This hasn't really been a big issue for me though, because I'm normally only carrying 2 snowboards on the rack. Overall, I'd say this rack is pretty solid and well made.

On the newer racks height can be elevated (tilts on an angle) to fit upside down snowboard bindings.
