How to prepare your vehicle for the slopes 

The much anticipated snow season has arrived and with it, flocks of snow sport enthusiasts are making their way to the white-coated peaks of Australia. If you’ve got a mountain getaway in your upcoming calendar, make sure you’re prepared for your trip with our selection of snow gear carriers and storage.

Made from strong, glass-reinforced nylon material, the Multi Purpose Holder is easily attached around your roof bars to hold your ski poles in place. With the ability to carry long thin cargo easily, you can even use the Multi Purpose Holder to store an extra pair of skis for your days in the mountains. It won’t go to waste in the summer either; use it year-round to hold fishing rods, kayak paddles, spades and shovels or a sailboard mast.

There’s a lot that goes into a snow trip, and gear extends far beyond what you’re riding down the slope on.
