HitchSki

A HitchRack is a type of bike carrier that attaches to the hitch receiver of your vehicle, allowing you to transport bicycles securely while traveling. It is designed to hold bikes in place, preventing them from swaying or falling off during transit. Some HitchRacks can also be adapted for carrying other gear, such as skis or snowboards, making them versatile for different outdoor activities.

The HitchSki is an accessory that converts your standard hitch-mounted bike carrier into a ski carrier. This means you can use the same HitchRack to transport both bikes in the summer and skis in the winter. It’s specifically designed to fit seamlessly with the HitchRack system, making it easy to switch between carrying bikes and winter sports gear.

Adjustable arms are components of the ski carrier that can be moved or modified to fit different sizes and shapes of skis or snowboards. This feature is crucial because it allows the carrier to accommodate various gear, ensuring a secure fit for all types of equipment. This versatility makes it easier for users to transport their winter sports gear without worrying about compatibility.

Rubber padding is a cushioning material used on the ski carrier to protect your gear from scratches and damage while being transported. This padding absorbs shocks and prevents direct contact between your skis or boards and the carrier, ensuring that your equipment remains in excellent condition, even on bumpy roads.

"Winter mode" refers to a specific configuration of your hitch-mounted bike carrier that is optimized for carrying winter sports equipment, such as skis or snowboards. This mode typically involves adjusting the carrier to securely hold the gear in place, ensuring safe transport during the winter months. It highlights the versatility of the HitchRack, allowing it to be used for different activities throughout the year.

Yes! The HitchRack is designed to be versatile, allowing you to use it for both biking in the warmer months and skiing in the winter. By adding the HitchSki accessory, you can easily convert your bike carrier into a ski carrier, making it a practical solution for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy multiple activities throughout the year.
