How to Pack Your Mazda for Dreamy Ski Getaways

Load Up and Hit the Slopes

There’s nothing like waking up early in the morning and heading out to one of your favorite ski resorts. Skiing is a go-to weekend activity for us Coloradans, with so many amazing resorts to visit. But it’s not all fun and games. When you’re setting off for an epic ski day, it’s important to prepare appropriately for the road ahead. Proper preparation includes ensuring your Mazda is winter-ready, leaving early enough to beat the traffic, and, of course, packing efficiently. Today, we will be focusing on how to pack in the best way to have a smooth and enjoyable ski day. Luckily, Mazda models such as the CX-5 and CX-50 are the perfect adventure companions for your winter travel. So grab your gear, buckle up, and let’s hit the road!

Choosing the Right Mazda for Your Ski Trip

When it comes to planning a ski trip, the right car can make or break your adventure. Enter the Mazda CX-5 and CX-50—two incredible and practical options for the perfect winter getaway. Need space for bulky snow gear and cozy layers? Both models come with spacious interiors that make packing a breeze. Worried about navigating those slick, snowy mountain roads? The all-wheel drive has you covered, giving you peace of mind no matter what the forecast throws your way. And let’s not forget about the available roof racks and related accessories—perfect for securing your skis or snowboards without cramming the back seat.

Organize Your Gear Like a Pro

Organization is everything. From skis and boots to all that cozy snow gear (not to mention snacks for the drive!), it’s easy for things to get chaotic. Luckily, the Mazda CX-5 and CX-50 make it simple to pack like a pro. Both SUVs are built with adventure in mind, offering ample storage and thoughtful design features that are perfect for winter escapes. The CX-50 boasts a spacious cargo area, making it easy to pack all your extra gear. For added versatility, it features a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, allowing you to adapt the space to your needs. Meanwhile, the CX-5 offers 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats, providing flexible and customizable storage solutions. Plus, both models have an available power liftgate that makes loading and unloading a breeze. With these built-in features, your gear will fit and stay nicely organized.

Tip: While the optional roof racks are  perfect for securing your skis and boards, we recommend using a tote bag or a dedicated boot bag to conveniently store your other gear inside the cargo area.

Mazda Makes Winter Getaways Better

A ski trip isn’t just about the destination; it’s about the entire experience—and your ride plays a massive role in that. With Mazda, your journey to the mountain will be almost as enjoyable as the time spent on the slopes. These vehicles offer exceptional reliability, comfortable interiors, and spacious storage for your gear.
