I skied with you twice last year, maybe I made(Make, hasn't been made yet;) )the cut.:snow: Then I can brag about being as special as greg.

Sadly, I think the only footage I got of you is the stuff about 2:13 into this video:

Which I figure will make it in there in some capacity. If I'm feeling nice I'll leave out the part where you go down.. ;)

Hey, wasn't this a discussion about ski racks for Subarus?

I put my skis in the rack of a outback before. It wasnt these skis, and it was a long time ago but it did happen. I think it was a Thule brand.

Did I do a good job of bringing it back on topic?:lol:

On a sidenote my girlfriend's Audi A4 has the coolest feature. A small hatch that you can pop out of the backseat that leads to the trunk, specifically installed for skis. You can fit 4 people, 4 sets of skis, and all of your gear in a small sedan! I'm probably living under a rock never having seen that but I loved it.

I also have an A4 (jut got it in May), and I'm looking forward to carrying my skis to the hill in this manner this winter.

That's puddy from Seinfeld. I can see the confusion though.


So it is. Damn. I have checked Craigslist but now I'll start looking on a deal for the Snowcat specifically. I'm also having this fantasy about someone modifying my back seat to work similar to the Audi so I wouldn't need a rack in the first place to carry 4 people + skis.

That could be easy, depending on how clean you want it to be. A box cutter for the cushion and cut-off wheel to cut through the seat support should do the job. Add in some duct tape for trim if you want that finished look. ;)

Seriously that sounds like it would be a pretty expensive task, much more than just buying a roof rack. Might be easier to retro-fit an Audi seat into the subbie, or better yet just drive your girlfriend's Audi, or even better yet still.. get one for yourself...
