New to the forums. Currently have a BMW 330xi as my vehicle to get to the mountain. See where that's a problem? More than a couple inches on the road and I am screwed..


Looking for input on what vehicles you all drive to the mountain. I have about 12k to put into this. Maybe more.

Thanks for input--

I might be in the market for a car. On the one hand I'm a Subie fan and it fit snowboarders needs just perfect.
On the other CTV is not fun anymore, outback is bigger and slower now, no wrx wagon.

I'm looking at something similar: sporty, awd, with space for stuff.
I drove BMW X1, previous gen, and really liked it. Can also consider 328X wagon: it's almost the same, but lower. I don't need much clearance in midwest.

What are other options? Any love for Volvos? May be I'm missing something else?

I've driven both, well kinda, we own a 2014 X1 and my friend has a 2013 BMW 320d xdrive wagon. If you don't need clearance go with the wagon. It's just better in every aspect. The X1 might not look smaller, but it really is. Also the base model of the 3 series has A LOT more luxury than the X1 (should you care about that). The 3 series just feels nicer. I'm a little bit baised though because I'm a huge fan of wagons. Still the arguments are objective.

The old Z71 Tahoe got put out to pasture today. She was a good one. Had that truck for 8 years. Replaced with a Yukon Denali. Dont ever buy a Tahoe/Yukon unless you want to drive one for the rest of your life. I always test drive other stuff, always end up with another one. This is three in a row. First Yukon, it was always Tahoes in the past. Had to go Yukon Denali this time since I really wanted that 6.2L.

Proudly presenting the new BLUE 2 Snow Machine. 2017 WRX Pemium. After 199.120 miles the old 06WRX was laid to rest at the dealer and I went home with the new baby.

Few visual mods on it. And I was thinking a SubieSpeed HID Xenon headlight upgrade.

Hummm..cant see the thumbnails.

no photo of the snow rig, same one for the last 12 years '05 Element and never see me selling it.

Just wanted to say that it looks like this weekend the PACKASPORT will be going on, then in 2 weeks we'll be going to Warren Millers new flic. I know they're not the best stoke, but skis or boards you cant beat those killer powder shots

You know, joining this site I have learned a ton of stuff, including some real basic stuff that I really should have known existed before now; eg: Boot fitting foam pads to stop heel lift! Embarrassing stuff! :embarrased1:

Now I find out there is such things as a snowboard vehicle! When I arrived in Canada I was 'given' my father in law's old Prius that he didn't need. So for about 4 years my better half and I loaded up this car and drove plenty of 10 hour + trips.

It had done about 380,000 kilometres (237,000 miles) and when it got cold, the dashboard lights would often go out and the car wouldn't turn off.

So...I found this thread and we decided to buy a new car.

Subaru 2018 Outback. :smile:
