Welcome to the forum Nightrow.
After reading a few posts about skiing, I thought I would share my story of my ski trip in the Nitro.
Me and a buddy recently went skiing in Wisconsin. It was about an hour and a half drive. We folded down half of the back seat and with it folded, there was plenty of room for my skis.
About half way through the day, we stopped to eat. The lounge was full so we went to my Nitro to eat the food we brought. We pulled out the load and go. We put all the food in the little storage part of the load and go (the part that is normally covered up). Then we sat on the load and go and had a "picnic" lol. With the music blasting, it was a really good time. The Nitro is a great tailgating vehicle.
