What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I've wrestled with roof-mounted carriers in freezing temps before-never again. The SlopeSide slide-out feature makes loading my skis so much easier, especially after long days on the mountain. The rubber grips are bomber and don't scuff up my gear."We've all balanced on a running board trying to load skis onto a roof rack with frozen fingers, so when we discovered the Malone SlopeSide Sliding Ski Carrier, we didn't look back. This carrier redefines rooftop convenience with its innovative slide-out design, allowing us to easily load or unload our gear without leaning halfway across the car. The spring-loaded internal latch extends the carrier out over the vehicle's edge with just a pull, making it a game-changer for early-morning meetups at the trailhead or post-powder day pack-ups. Malone builds the SlopeSide from durable powder-coated aluminum and uses ultra-soft rubber grip arms to protect our gear from scratches and dings. With room for up to 5 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards, it's ready for group rides and big family weekends alike. And with universal mounting hardware, it installs easily on almost any crossbar system. The integrated locking system adds peace of mind when we're grabbing food or heading into the lodge.
