ya dude, subaru is known for great durability and snow handling. if you have the cash, get the WRX STI, which will get the job done (and also happens to be a rally racing car, yayyy.)
VW 4motion or Audi Quattro Wagons. Post 1999. Gas milage isn't so hot around town but take it on the highway and cruise to the mountain. My VW's(v6/4motion) perfect.
