[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP.  I’ve lived in Colorado (not Boulder) since 2007 and we currently have two Toyotas, of which one we actually bought from the dealership in Boulder because they gave us a better deal than the Toyota dealer near us. There’s a restaurant in the industrial park next to it that has excellent breakfast burritos if you’re ever stuck there waiting for an oil change.

You really do see a lot of Subarus here for a reason—they’re extremely practical. Acura MDXs are very popular in my neighborhood as well—our friends who ski frequently have two. But you also see a lot of every other make and model here. Midsize SUVs are popular in general.

Here is a list of all of the vehicles my family has owned since moving to Colorado (my husband likes to shop for cars. Thank goodness there’s still a blue law on the books that keeps car dealerships closed on Sundays or I’m sure we could have gone through half a dozen more):
Ford Explorer
Toyota FJ
GMC Yukon Denali XL
Toyota AWD Sienna x2
Toyota 4Runner x2
BMW M3 convertible

Hi, i am the OP here. Thank you so much for this information. I apologize for the delayed response. 
We’re on our second Sienna and 4Runner because our previous ones were totaled by baseball sized hail in 2018.

My family was in the mountains skiing EVERY WEEKEND from Thanksgiving through March from about 2015 until Covid. We have 3 kids and they were all competitive skiers. Guess which of the above mentioned vehicles is/was the best in bad winter weather?

The AWD Sienna.

For the first several years we didn’t even get snow tires, but now we do and it’s practically unstoppable. I drove my kids to a ski race that got cancelled a couple of years ago because there was TOO MUCH SNOW and we had no problem while other people were sliding all over 70 on our way home. My husband loves his 4Runner, but it doesn’t handle as well in the snow, even with snow tires.
