ski rack

Can anyone suggest a brand of ski rack that you can fix to the back of a car, instead of the roof. I have a Land Rover Defender which stands very high off the ground. So lifting all our skis onto the roof is not a good option. I have seen racks fitted to the back of vehicles before but cannot find one online. Any suggestions very gratefully received.

Welcome to J2ski :D Looks like Thule make some, there are probably others as well.

Have a look at these people, I have always had a good service from them and a very good price.

Wickers, from the link you've provided, can you direct the OP to the site page with the back racks please? I can't find it!

Apologies guy's they have been discontinued from the range, it's a shame as the prices have always been good on that site.

The Gringo rear-mounted ski rack is exactly what I am looking for, and perfect for a Land Rover. A great suggestion. Thank you!

I just hope you aren't driving all the way to the alps with your ski bindings exposed to the grit, and crud thrown up from the road.
