Frequently Asked Questions?

Why use a snowmobile rack system?

A snowmobile rack allows you to carry the gear you want to bring with you up the mountain without wearing it physically on your back. A snowmobiler will always want to carry safety critical equipment in a backpack, but for the fun gear for skiing or snowboarding that gets too heavy and reduces the enjoyment of the day via the physical toll and incumbrance of riding.

How do skis or snowboards fit on the rack?

Each rack has pre-drilled holes aligned to fit either our ski holder or snowboard holder, so you can set your rack up for how you like to head downhill. One ski holder or snowboard holder can be fitted to either side, so a total of two carriers can be installed for two sets of skis, two snowboards, or one of each. Each ski or snowboard holder must be purchased separately.

How does the ski holder carry skis?

There are two main elements. There is a covered bolting system to hold the skis up and support them tightly in three directions. A 3/8" stainless bolt fits into the side of the rack and is covered inside, outside, and from the bottom with a durable plastic sheath to protect the ski edges. Then there is the strapping system. This holds the skis down, so they don't bounce out while riding. This uses a combination of webbing, a protective and specialized rubber coating for cut resistance, and a snowboard buckle for tension. This allows for a very tight and secure hold of the skis that is easily manageable even with gloved hands, and durable enough to handle the tough environment that is the backcountry.

How does the ski holder carry a snowboard?

Holding a snowboard with the ski/combo holder is possible. The same bolt, plastic, and straps are used as described in the ski holder above, but when a snowboard is put in the far side anchor (or tie point) must be moved over to the close side of the rack. This allows for the extra width of the snowboard. The dimensions then work, and the only downside of this versus our dedicated snowboard holder is that the gap the snowboard fits into is wider as it is wide enough for a pair of skis. This makes the snowboard a bit looser than it otherwise would be, but it is still tight enough that it will securely join you for the ride. Also, the ratchet is on the inside of the rack instead of the outside, which is slightly more challenging to use, but still very easily doable with gloves on.

What makes Port Tack Racks Better than other Aftermarket Snowmobile Rack Options?

The main features of the Port Tack Racks system are durability, simplicity, safety, and price. Our racks are molded and welded perfectly to provide tremendous form stability. We have not had a rack fail in almost ten years, and the welding is beautiful. This is not an accident, as the design incorporates a rolled aluminum sheet and pre-rounded fittings for the pipe.  Our welding is done in an aluminum-only weld shop, so there is no carbon contamination.

For safety, you'll notice all rounded corners of considerable radius. This avoids the very real risk of cutting which can occur from many of the CNC rack options available. When the sled rolls on top of the rider, or the rider gets slammed back into the rack from hitting a tree or other object, it is much safer to have the impact spread on a rounded surface than a surface that looks like a knife edge.

Finally, we stripped down the product requirements to the bare minimum, and have included everything needed and nothing extra to provide tremendous value to the community.

Where are the poles held?

The poles can be held inside the straps just above the skis. There is plenty of tension and space so the poles are held in via friction and the fact the basket and grip don't allow them to slip out.

How to carry ski boots?

Many riders will wear ski boots all day long, but for those who wish to ride more and do just a bit of skiing that can be uncomfortable. The best thing to do is buy a dry bag that fits your boots and then bring the boots in the interior of the rack using our accessory strap to easily secure boots.

How long does shipping take?

Awesome Ski Holder!

I attached it to a different rack. I love this ski holder. I blazed through all kinds of bumpy stuff today and got a few high speed runs in. The skis were held solidly. Impressive ratchet strap system. Great kit. Great price and super fast delivery to Alaska

Perfect rack for double up's

My wife and I both have these racks with the ski/snowboard straps. She snowboards and I ski and we are usually the fastest people in our group to be ready! I love that the rack keeps your skis flat with the tunnel so if you get stuck you can just roll your sled without taking them off. We have bought 4 racks at this point!
