    Can you put skis in a rooftop cargo box? This is a question that I had been wondering for a while. I’m not sure if it’s because I grew up in a place where skiing is popular, or if it’s just something that seems like it would be really cool to do, but either way, I was curious about the feasibility of this idea. After doing some research (and even trying it out for myself), I found that the answer is yes, you can definitely put skis in a rooftop cargo box!

    Rooftop cargo boxes are great for transporting all kinds of gear, including skis. Most boxes have a capacity of 6 to 8 pairs of skis, which is more than enough for most people. Plus, if you’re worried about your skis getting stolen, a roof box is a great way to deter thieves. Just be sure to choose a box that’s the right size for your needs. If you plan on carrying more than six or seven pairs of skis, you’ll need a larger box.

    But there are a few things you need to know before you try it yourself. So if you’re thinking about packing your skis on top of your car for your next ski trip, check out these tips –

    Skies and Rooftop Box Size Comparison

    Ski season is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to get your skis up to the mountain. If you don’t have a rooftop cargo box, now might be the time to invest in one. However, you’ll need to make sure that the box is large enough to accommodate your skis. The required size will depend on the dimensions of your skis, but as a general rule of thumb, you should look for a box that is at least 10 inches longer than your longest ski. With a little bit of careful packing, you should be able to fit all of your gear into a box that size. Check out the below comparison chart to get a better idea –

    Steps To Load Skis Into a Roof Box

    Now that you know that it is possible to put skis in a rooftop cargo box, let’s take a look at how you can do it yourself. The process is actually pretty simple, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind.

    Time needed: 5 minutes.

    Steps to Follow to Load Skies in A Rooftop Cargo Box

    1. Place heavier Items At the Bottom

      Assuming you’re not just schlepping skis around town, you’ll want to put your skis in the box last. That way, you can put all the other gear in first and not have to worry about squishing your skis. First, start with the larger items like boots and bindings. Then, add in your poles and any other smaller items. Finally, place your skis in the box, and place some barrier between them so that they’re not touching each other. That way, you can be sure that all your gear will arrive safely at your destination.

    2. Create A Solid Foundation

      The best strategy is to start with the other goods first. This will create a solid foundation for the skis to be placed on top. The skis can then be secured with straps or bungee cords. By following this simple tip, you can rest assured that your skis will arrive at the mountain safely and soundly. Not to mention, it’s just good common sense – you wouldn’t build a house on top of an unstable foundation, would you? So when packing up the car for your next trip to the slopes, remember: start with the other goods first. Your skis will thank you.
