Best 4x4 for ski trip

[joshcowin]

Theoretical question, what 4x4 would be best for driving TO the ski resorts in Europe and capable when there.

Must seat 5 minimum , 7 is a bonus
Ideal carry ski's inboard (may not be possible)
Good on the snow
Reliable

Budget say £10k-£15k

Good stuff so far thanks, I'd been looking at nissan pathfinders and shoguns up till now.

Will you fit the ski's in there? I know roof rack/ box will take them, but would the disco accommodate ski's (approx 6ft)?

I presume you mean the new pathfinder? The big square ones were based on a navara chassis and weren't all that refined or comfortable.

No I was looking at the old shape, chassis cracking seemed to be the issue!

Ideally 7 seats but cool

It's essentially about the tyres IME, rather than the number of driven wheels.

I have no experience so happy to be wrong but surely body clearance can be an issue?
