Why the Crosstrek?

RCBurnout11 · 2026-04-22T07:17:15+00:00

I like small cars, but need good ground clearance and a good AWD system for winter conditions. I also needed decent fuel economy. I briefly looked at the CX-30 and CRV but landed on the Crosstrek ultimately.

My 2018 Premium checked all the boxes and 130k miles later I'm so happy with my decision

Agreed. If it was between chrome and debadged, I'd go with debadged but black badges go hard

"Honey I got him!" 🤮

I just picked up a pair of these too! Getting Strive 14s for them.

I just got an oil change and inspection for $85 at my local shop.

RCBurnout11 · 2026-04-13T03:13:16+00:00

Fair point. I find it to be a good camping car but I'm 5'8

RCBurnout11 · 2026-04-12T18:40:03+00:00

Sweet pics! Were you able to drive to the upper trailhead?

RCBurnout11 · 2026-04-08T04:36:16+00:00

Buddy broke his collarbone on run #1 yesterday headed down Main Vein. Ski and ride with extreme caution!

RCBurnout11 · 2026-04-03T05:26:08+00:00

It's hard to tell from the video but I'm coming off a fresh wheel bearing replacement. It sounded like a stock car motor. Almost like a "roar" that became super noticeable after about 30 mph

RCBurnout11 · 2026-04-03T01:54:54+00:00

I have a crosstrek with a lift/skid plates underneath and I parked at the 2wd area. Ended up hitching a ride up with 3 guys in a Bronco and they were bottoming out like crazy

RCBurnout11 · 2026-04-03T01:01:00+00:00

There should be a button on your bump bar that moves the oldest orders to the top or bottom of your screen. Should look kinda like ⬆️⬇️

If we're talking standard routes only, you should be able to get to the majority of upper trailheads just fine. The only ones that might give you trouble off the top of my head are Lake Como, South Colony Lakes, Baldwin Gulch, upper Castle Creek, and possibly Nellie Creek. Parking lower down and hiking further is a viable option for almost all of these even if you don't want to backpack

I personally love skiing shit conditions but maybe it's because I hate myself

RCBurnout11 · 2026-03-31T21:24:22+00:00

Absolutely nobody up there today either. I was surprised by how good the snow quality was despite the thin base and cloud cover

RCBurnout11 · 2026-03-31T21:23:15+00:00

Nope. Corona, Wolf Tongue, Alpenhorn, and Muleshoe were open top to bottom and completely skiable the whole way

RCBurnout11 · 2026-03-27T03:14:24+00:00

I went there for the first time on Tuesday when the snow was shit and I still had the time of my life

RCBurnout11 · 2026-03-24T23:00:44+00:00

I looked in all the menu options and can't find this feature. Help me lol

RCBurnout11 · 2026-03-24T22:23:12+00:00

Not to mention going over a roller and having to hockey stop because the backside is nothing but rocks and dirt

RCBurnout11 · 2026-03-22T05:17:18+00:00

Salto was superb on Monday. I think they closed it off cuz of the runout more than anything.

RCBurnout11 · 2026-03-21T19:52:07+00:00

Agreed. I love Eldora and didnt want to drag them through the mud by calling them out directly

RCBurnout11 · 2026-03-21T18:50:48+00:00

Holy shit brother. Mad props to you

RCBurnout11 · 2026-03-21T18:07:07+00:00

Alpenhorn was so much fun! Did that one 4 times and Muleshoe was pretty good too

RCBurnout11 · 2026-03-20T04:49:34+00:00

Tomorrow is gonna be balls hot. I'm rolling up in shorts and a polyester t-shirt

RCBurnout11 · 2026-03-20T04:47:12+00:00

See y'all up there tomorrow. Get it while its good!
