ABSTRACT:
A ski rack particularly suitable for use within an automobile and about a wheel well protruding within the automobile. The ski rack includes a rear rack portion having a rear frame to be positioned in an automobile over an area typically occupied by a rear wheel well. The rear frame is supported by at least one of the sidewall and floor of the automobile. A rear ski support member extends upwardly from the rear frame to support skis at one end. A front rack portion has a front ski support member to be attached to a front sidewall to support skis at another end. The ski rack may further include support members to be inwardly offset from a rear wheel well protruding within the automobile for maintaining ski poles in a fixed position close to the sidewall so as not to encroach into the automobile passenger and cargo space.
