The Z, it can handle snow pretty good with a set of good snow tires, but yes, the ground clearance is going to be a problem with snow 5"+

I am not sure about the fitment for ski cos I drive a vert, hopefully someone can chip in.

If you have to take all those into consideration, how much space does the car have is a matter to you.

Don't worry about grocery shopping, the Z can handle it very very well.

You might have to think about the snow and fitment for ski, if you can fit the ski no problem, snow... unless you have snow storm all the time, otherwise driving Z on snow is not a big problem.

BTW, just asking, could you get a winter beater and leave the Z for summer?

Thanks for the reply. I can't afford a beater just yet. I think if I can get through 1-2 winters in the Z then I could easily afford some kind of beater 4wd truck. They plow the roads pretty well around here usually the main roads do not have accumulated snow. Its the residential ones you have to worry about. I think I can find a way to make skis work though
