We didn't want a minivan and the roof top carrier is a lifesaver. A little pain to pull out and put on sometime, but definitely worth it.
Skis should be in a rooftop carrier anyway, otherwise all the salt and other road crud gets on them.

Yes. Definitely take just your ski boots to the mountain. Not that extra crap, like skis.

Our family does all of the things referenced in this and every other thread comfortably with a mid size car.

Do you have a ski rack on your sedan? Otherwise you certainly do not put two adults and three kids with five sets of skis in a midsize car.
Funny you should ask as I grew up in Denver in a family of 5 that went skiing in a mid-size car - we had a Datsun station wagon. Putting the chains on was a PITA but we never had any trouble with the skis or everyone's bags.

If you have 1/3 up in the back, with a kid sitting in the 1/3 and 2/3 for the trunk suitcases, you fit everything?
what if your other car fits 3 across, so you could do vacations in the second car and use the captains chairs car for everyday life?

Right now we have an ACURA MDX and 3 across in the middle, and we occasionally fold down the third row. I'd like to get a car with captains chairs, but I am wondering how the third row works with trunk space?
Unless you get a Suburban or Yukon XL - there will be no trunk space. Get a rooftop carrier or trailer hitch.

We can typically get at least two large and two medium sized suitcases in there and then finesse the rest of the luggage behind the third row. This way we don't have to use the luggage rack, which tends to reduce gas mileage.
LOL - The horse left the barn on this a long time ago.

The new Subaru ascent should be on your list.
