THULE, worth every penny. I have the 6-pair/4 board one and it's great. I can always carry my friends and all of their gear in my Forester, sometimes a board has to be strapped to the bars, but that isn't bad.

1) get thule

2) dont get^,  get a rock box.  I personally dont like the outside storage of my skis when driving.  There pretty open to dirt and anything else you an think of getting into the binding and so on.  Also a box give you so much room.  You can fit 4 skis easy with a ton of gear up there too.  Ive fit up to 4 skis and 1 board in my box too.

Honestly, just go the Thule website.  They have a fantastic fit guide that will tell you exactly what you need to get to make it work.  I work at a bike shop that sells thule and we use this feature all the time.
