Any advice on an aftermarket rack that can support a 6 ski rack in the winter and roof top tent in the summer? I am currently running the stock rack with my Yakima Fatcat6 during ski season and very interested in an aftermarket "flat and low profile" rack that could handle a rooftop tent in the offseason. What rack have you used and can you offer pictures?
 
I run the Rhino Rack stuff on my LX. Pioneer platform in the summer and three 65" crossbars in the winter. Best of both worlds in my opinion.

I had two issues with the platform in the winter. 1, the skis had to be in the rack as singles as the bindings would hit. 2, ice build up between platform and roof. But I'm in the northeast and see more ice than CO.
 
Thanks jlm43! Looks like Rhino Rack, Sherpa Blanca, and Frontrunner Slimline are able to accommodate a ski rack with their T-bolt design rails. Will update once I have a decision and can show pics of my skis on an overland rack! Snow will be falling before we know it in Colorado!
