Last reviewed: March 2026
At a glance
Why this product
The FatCat EVO 6 is built for wide skis — it clears powder skis up to 136mm that jam in standard carriers. 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards, button release for gloved hands, lockable. At 15.5 lbs it is heavier than budget options, but if you ski fat powder boards, most other carriers literally will not fit your gear.

The FatCat EVO 6 earns its name — it is wide enough to carry the fattest powder skis on the market (136mm+). Tool-free mounting on virtually any crossbar. The premium materials reduce wind noise compared to earlier FatCat generations.
Powder skiers with wide skis (120mm+), Yakima crossbar owners, ski families
Skinny-ski-only households — you are paying for width you do not need
If you ski on anything wider than 100mm, the FatCat EVO is the safest choice. No other rack handles truly fat skis this well.
