Ski/Snowboard carrier search

Does anyone know if there's a ski/snowboard holder that fits into the OEM crossbars aside from the BMW brand? The BMW holders are very pricey and not very good.
I did a search and it seems that most guys go with the Thule Snowcat setup.
I'm thinking of getting rid my OEM crossbars and maybe getting the Thule setup if anyone is interested.

I use the Inno Dual Angle rack, here's pics:

It's a dedicated ski/snowboard rack like the Thule Snowcat, but you can optionally lift the carriers at an angle. This keeps big snowboard bindings from scratching the top of your car when you load two boards together.

I have the Yakima set up. The cross bars attach right to the OEM rails.

Those are nice setups.....I was hoping to find something from Thule or Yakima that fits into my Oem bars....for the price that BMW wants for their snowboard rack I can buy the whole setup you guys have.
Anyway, I think I'm going to get rid of my Oem crossbars and ski racks.
