I’ve always found that the best way to carry heavy things like skis is a pickup. Don’t you have a dually?
Skis on the back of a rig are covered with road salt and grime.
On top is better, but at forty height they attract garage door headers.
Did I mention my boards live in a minivan? It even has a set of Yakima ski racks I never use. Come to idaho and they’re yours.

Just need to locate the threaded inserts for the tie down points, bolt hardware back in place, and cover the hinged wing. Then I can get it dirty!

Yeah, I usually just toss skis in the bed of my truck when I drive it. The 40 has the cool factor though, it's more fun to drive up there.
I'll be in Idaho on Friday!
Just barely, but I'll be there, skiing Lost Trail.
4 1/2 hrs more you’d have ski racks…

Saw there was a storm passing through, was wondering if you were going to enjoy life. We didn‘t get anything down here (yet).

7 inches in the last couple of days, the forecast is calling for another 12"-18" in the next 24 hours.
I'll be back down there tomorrow as well.

looks good, been planning something like this myself for a spring project. Why only 1 side with the hinged wing?

My original plan was to make both sides hinged, but after thinking about how my cooler would be mounted behind the drivers seat I decided to leave that side rigid just for additional stability. I now have the ability to secure my cooler in place and strap 4 MFCs to the exterior basket for some additional fuel range.
Realistically I don't gain that much access with the hinged part, it can all be accessed from the rear of the 40 anyways, it's just a little more convenient now. As soon as I relocate the speaker box.
On 'Yield', a 1998 Pearl Jam album,
"MFC" takes place in a car and is about "getting the **** out of a problem".
Coincidence?

I heard there is 16" of fresh snow up on the mountain right now, we got hit hard Friday night and Saturday. The ski mountain was closed due to extreme cold temps on Sunday and Monday, today is the first day that side of the mountain is open since all that snow.So far here, it’s been freeze thaw, freeze thaw repeat. Makes for some epic boiler plate..
We all know what happens next!
