Abstract: A carrier for objects which is particularly useful for transporting skis and elongated objects on motor vehicles is shown. A cross bar is shown having a first and second arm on each end extending rearwardly of the opposite ends of the cross bar. At least one leg is shown extending upwardly from the base formed by the cross bar and first and second arms, which can extend upward from each end of the first and second arms. In one embodiment, the device may be mounted to the trailer hitch of the motor vehicle by providing a hole centrally through the cross bar and passing a ball hitch through the hole in the cross bar and the hole in the trailer hitch tongue.
