Ski racks and carriers a status symbol?

On a STAT (non emergency) bloodelivery to a mountain hospital, there were many vehicles with skis in ski racks and roof-mounted enclosed carriers.



Buthe car and SUV interiors were EMPTY!



They would rather create windrag and lower fuel economy than use their trunks and interiors?



We place our skis in the trunk. If necessary, foldown a rear seat and the skis pass through the opening to the interior.

Arriving athe slopes, our skis are clean and not caked with slush and ice. Our ski apparel warm.
