Thought I'd report on the OEM polaris rack. I have only tried to backcountry ski twice off of my snowmobile, so I didn't want to invest a lot of money. The polaris rack was the least expensive and I decided to try it out. Install was fairly simple. I did get a 12" drill bit for the lower hole of the front bracket as a short bit was at an angle due to drill hitting the edge of the running board. I double checked the alignment holes on the front bracket, but it was perfect as per template, so I didn't double check the rear mount. Ended up the rear mount was 1/16 of an inch high so I shimed with a washer (see pic). Should have checked with bracket before I drilled.
Looks like the front bracket will make snow collect so I will likely remove when not hauling skis.
I hope I get to use them.
