Utes fo shizzle mayn
BRB just chuck skis, boots in the back and drive off
BRB 4x4

I would go with an SUV/ station wagon, trucks can have bad traction because the rear wheels don't have much weight over them.
Just got a 1999 Subaru outback to replace my Volvo, and i love the subaru so much. Snow tires and AWD is great for skiing, and i got mine in stick and its pretty fun
buy my 02 forester. $1800
selling it because I got an 06 as well and dont need two/out of the country for have the year as well and don't want it sitting at my parents. car drove 30k miles on cross country road trips this summer. I averaged 27-28 mpg.
upstate ny 518.
my best friend daily'd a pathfinder, a 2000 I think as well so it was a pretty cool suv. I can personally attest to the reliability of these shits apart from regular maintenance from having as much fun as we did, and it was a fucking ski hill rocket.
My dad has, so I have a 2005 f250 that's rebuilt with a bit of turbo work and I will say that it's probably the most safe thing to be driving apart from semis and shit. You do loose traction a fair amount which has been mentioned before, espesically if you're driving on legitimate mountain roads. If 4x4 works they go anywhere though.
and I have a miata as well, which I wouldn't reccomend because when I do start running it up and down the hill my friends are going to be carrying my things with their things in the passenger seat.
2004 Hyundai Sonata is the pinnacle of mechanical engineering.
2013 stick shift Chevy Cruze. Skis barely fit in there and it sucks in snow but otherwise a fun car to drive
lifted smart car with some pretty gnarly winter tires

Exactly.
Hell I have an 02 Tacoma and I've never had to do that. Just get a decent set of tires and a truck should do fine.
Definitely not a Scion TC... The "family car" struggle is real.
Excited to buy my own vehicle next year though.
