Smaller cars get better gas mileage, but it can be a challenge to fit skis and snowboards inside. In the spirit of keeping things budget-friendly and not spending 25% of my vehicle’s value on a ski rack, I ended up with the most affordable rack on the market: Malone’s LiftLine Compact Ski Carrier.  The full story: I recently moved further away from my local ski area, and as much as I love my adventure truck, I’m pretty tired of the 12 mpg. So I set out to buy myself a second vehicle with two things in mind. It had to…

Over the last few years, I’ve noticed Savior Equipment appearing on my social media feed quite a…
