Loading and unloading skis and snowboards is a bit of a chore for the cat driver and the guides. However, the stand-up racks are a lot easier on clients' skies than baskets in which skis lie horizontal, piled on top of one another. The yellow Volkl Explosiv skis in the center of the photo are typical of the rental skis available at Chatter Creek. They ride well and are very easy to turn.
