I'm running a 07 Outback DD with the factory tower and i was told ,and i tryed it to no avail that if you moved your racks from the upper/middle tower supports and moved them down to the lower supports,you could in fact fit a ski into the rack.
Skis with just a rear toe plate would work in this situation but not skis with double boots. Has anyone come up with a solution or a reasonable substitution for this?
