A ski carrier is disclosed herein. The ski carrier includes a housing having a cylindrical shape with rounded ends. The housing further includes a latch located along a center portion that opens to reveal a mounting assembly located within the housing. The mounting assembly includes two rotatable cylinders that are connected through a central rod. The cylinders include clips that receive ski poles to be mounted and stored within the housing. The housing further includes a first compartment and a second compartment that is movable to reveal additional storage for skiing accessories such as gloves, boots, and googles. Additionally, the housing may be mounted on to the top of a vehicle for easy transport.

A mounting system utilizing multidirectional pivoting, retracting, extending, and vertical lift to allow it to fit longer items diagonally into truck beds, cargo vehicles, mobile trailers, or other vehicles; and making moving or removing the equipment stored therein much easier. The mounting system is also designed to be installed inside the bed of a truck and still allow for a “bed cover” or tonneau cover to be used over the mounting system so that the mounting system and equipment mounted therein remain safely inside the vehicle. The mounting system and attached equipment can easily be removed while not in use and re-attached to secondary mounting location for safe storage.

A vehicle rack can carry multiple pairs of skis and/or multiple snowboards in an upright orientation. The rack has multiple tubes, each sized to at least partially receive a pair of skis therein. The tubes can be arranged in multiple nested rows. The rack can have a housing sized to receive one or more snowboards at least partially therein. The rack can directly couple to a vehicle hitch or to a swing arm previously coupled to the vehicle hitch.
