Default Ski Rack Attachment Recommendations?

My coupe has the Audi roof rack and one bike attachment and I want to add a ski attachment for the other side of the rack.

I'd like to get one that can hold two pair if there's enough room alongside the bike attachment.

Any suggestions?

Default Here is what I did using Yakima parts... though it might be tight having both bike & skis up there.

I too have the Audi TT roof rack, but I used my older (3 yrs) Yakima ski carriers (they are now called "<a href="http://www.yakima.com/products/dynamic/8003044_4.html">PowderHound</a>") and went to a bike shop and found that the Yakima Mighty Mounts 10V (V = vertical) fit pretty close on the Audi TT rack.

Here's some pics of the ski carriers on the rack:

Since these pics were taken, I have added a few small pieces of cut up bicycle inner tube between the Mighty Mounts and the rackbars - just makes for a tighter and more secure fit, also keeps the Mighty Mounts from rotating on the rack bars.

These racks make a lot of wind noise!

Sure... as do all roof racks for that matter. What alternative is there for the TT?
