Innovative Slide-Out Loading for Maximum Convenience

The standout feature of the Thule SnowPack Extender is its extendable slide-out mechanism.

Traditional ski racks require you to reach across your vehicle's roof to position and secure skis or snowboards. This can be particularly awkward on taller vehicles or when handling several pairs of skis.

The Thule SnowPack Extender allows the carrying platform to slide towards the side of your vehicle, providing easier access to your equipment.

This reduces the need to stretch across the roof and makes loading and unloading more convenient.

For drivers of SUVs, estates and taller vehicles, the slide-out design offers a significant practical advantage over conventional fixed ski carriers.

Carry Up to Five Pairs of Skis or Two Snowboards

The Thule SnowPack Extender Ski Rack is designed to accommodate a wide selection of winter sports equipment.

With a generous 62.5cm loading width, the carrier can transport up to five pairs of skis or two snowboards, depending on the size and shape of your equipment.

Its versatile design makes it suitable for family skiing holidays, weekend snowboarding trips and regular winter sports adventures.

Always check the combined width and dimensions of your equipment before loading.

Ultra-Soft Rubber Arms for Secure Equipment Protection

The Thule SnowPack Extender features specially designed ultra-soft rubber gripping arms.

These hold skis and snowboards securely while helping protect their surfaces from scratches and pressure damage.

The flexible rubber construction accommodates different equipment shapes and thicknesses, making the rack suitable for a wide variety of skis and snowboards.

Whether you're transporting carving skis, touring skis or snowboards, the SnowPack Extender provides secure roof-mounted storage.

Easy Opening with Winter Gloves

When you're loading skiing equipment in cold weather, removing your gloves to operate small catches can be inconvenient.

The Thule SnowPack Extender solves this with oversized push-button releases.

These large buttons are designed to be easy to operate even while wearing thick winter gloves.

This practical feature makes loading and unloading easier during snowy or freezing conditions.

Raised Design for Taller Ski Bindings

The SnowPack Extender features a raised construction that provides additional clearance between your skis and your vehicle's roof.

This is particularly useful when transporting skis with taller bindings, helping prevent the bindings from contacting the vehicle.

The additional clearance also makes it easier to position compatible equipment securely within the carrier.

Secure Locking with Thule One-Key Compatibility

The Thule SnowPack Extender includes integrated security locks that help protect both your equipment and the carrier itself.

Skis and snowboards can be locked into the carrier, while the carrier can also be locked to the roof rack.

The included locks are compatible with the Thule One-Key System, allowing you to use matching lock cylinders across compatible Thule accessories.

This provides practical security when travelling, stopping at ski resorts or parking during your journey.

Aerodynamic Design for Comfortable Travel

The Thule SnowPack Extender features a streamlined design intended to reduce unnecessary wind resistance during travel.

Its aerodynamic profile makes it a practical choice for motorway journeys and longer winter sports holidays.

The premium black finish also complements modern Thule roof bars and vehicle styling.

Actual wind noise and fuel consumption will depend on your vehicle, roof rack system, equipment and driving conditions.

Ideal for Scottish Skiing & Snowboarding Adventures

From skiing at Glenshee and Cairngorm Mountain to snowboarding at Glencoe and Nevis Range, the Thule SnowPack Extender Ski & Snowboard Carrier is designed for winter sports enthusiasts throughout Scotland.

Its slide-out loading design is particularly convenient when travelling with several pairs of skis or using a taller vehicle.

Whether you're heading out for a day on the slopes or travelling across Europe for a skiing holiday, the SnowPack Extender offers a secure, convenient way to transport your equipment.
