That would depend on how well you want your bindings to work, and whether
you have some alternate means of keeping road grime out of them.

Very important - if you care about your skis, mostly about how safely their
bindings work. It takes a serious skier to detect how damage to their
bottoms affects skiing.
If your car otherwise has a factory set of rails on its roof, simply buy the
cheapest ski bag available, put your skis in that bag, and tie it to that
rack with rope. Don't bother buying a special ski rack. If you intend to
throw luggage and miscellaneous other stuff "on the roof" (cause your
vehicle is too small to fit stuff inside) buy a lifetime purchase "bullet
box" like one of those name-brand (Thule) ones. It will also fit on the
vehicle you someday get cause you're making more money. And it's still
respectable!!!!

Believe what you want - but my advice is good.
