    This. 5 people and 10 pairs of skis, plus boots and poles. You're dreaming.

    Thanks for actually contributing something to my question. I will look at this, great idea. It's also actually useful for other things, too.

    More padding than a tarp for both bindings and elbows, and does a surprisingly good job of keeping water in, and then shaking it out (fleece seems to hate water) once we get home.

    Lay it down with the fleece side up, plunk down the skis and burrito it up. Keeps things from shifting all over, and becomes a big platform for poles, jackets, etc.

    Have done this with up to 6 pairs in my wife's hygienist-level car -> maybe can get up to 10, but the real limit is that our bindings all fall in about the same spot.

    That said, if anyone knows of a 196-capable boot tray, LMK.

    Good luck OP!

    dude, just clap the skis together a few times, give the topsheets a quick hand scrape and call it good. throw a homedepot dropcloth in there if youre real finicky. about things.

    No shit. Stop being a pussy and put the roof box on. It's a damn Q7 not a lifted Ferd 15trillion, it's not THAT high. No fucking way am I putting my wife and kids in the car with an assload of sharp skis and driving to the hill. I love my family more than that. You have the solution sitting in your garage but refuse to apply it for some fucking retarded reason.
    Instead you want to tarp the shit in the open area of your car so as they kill everyone when some dumb ass rear ends you, brilliant.

    Gotta second 2Funky......just not a good idea. You’d hate your self if your kid in the middle or back row takes a ski to the face or worse because you are too lazy to put the box on. My
    Thule box takes less than 5 minutes and goes on and off my Landcruiser all the time because my kids safety is paramount. Bring a little step ladder or stand on the tire to get the gear in and out. Just not worth, but you may feel different.

    This seems like the best option
    TLDR; Ski faster. Quit breathing. Don't crash.

    Good thought cause it will likely go in the Audi and will get wet so same need as the skis idea.

    Dude, the sweat from your ass is gonna do more damage over time to your driver's seat that the little bit of water on your family's skis is going to ever do to the third row carpet. If it really is such a short drive, some of the snow may still be on the skis when you pull them out.

    Or you could just get a box and leave everything in there. Unless you REALLY need to keep the car in the garage.
    No longer stuck.

    OK Brah, I decided to shave my balls and use the pubes to line the Audi's cargo area. I will put the kids in the roof box, but since I don't have roof rails I will just tow it behind me, dragging on the ground. Bumper sliding, but much safer because they will be in the box. I also bought some new carbon touring boots just for driving and I put some Kingpins on the brake and gas pedals because they are supposed to release in a crash, right? Touring is cool, right? Brah!
    And I am just going to have my AUDI detailed every day because I am better than all you tards and then reline with Briana Bank's freshly shorn gooch hair because that is shaved daily but the same chick that does my nether-regions. And it's so soft! it smells like a mixture of conditioner and santorum... just like ME!
    Finally, I will get a high quality German-made liquid-tight tarp and cut it and sew myself a really nice and tight thong and wear it whenever I am posting on TGR because it keeps all of my jizz-o contained that constantly spews as I read the amazing posts here. Sitting on my heated stool makes it all juicy like in a slow-cooker. I will probably do the thong with the built in suspenders because that's what ALL the dentists wear at the conventions I go to in Bangkok.

    Thanks to all who made constructive posts. I am really not worried about skis flying around in the car if I were to wreck. I am going to get that LL Bean blanket tomorrow and make a juicy ski burrito. If that thing goes flying in the car, it will be the least of our worries!
    For years I have driven to and from the mountains with an empty thule box on the roof and I always look forward to the day when I can take that thing off in April (or May!). It has skis in it for the very short ride to and from the cabin to the hill. In fact, I often just shove them in the car. I have the mega-box and putting it on and off is a PITA with the normal height car. On the stupid big SUV it's a real pain.
    I just ordered some roof crossbars from Thule so if I end up putting the box on, so be it. It will probably go on for some trips anyway.

    My season has been great so far, with probably more days out so far than mouthfuls of baby batter gargled by [insert name here] in the last few hours.

    Just because you don't like the advice given, does not mean its not sound or constructive.

    But you don't have a cabin 5 minutes from the hill and an Audi SUV with a very lonely roof-top box, and 5 pairs of skis with severe separation anxiety.
