Go skiing near Burlington in a GMC Acadia SUV
The Acadia is GMC's three-row SUV and it's the first GMC model to make use of solid unibody construction. The Acadia has room for up to eight skiers and it's available with either front-wheel drive or the extra traction of all-wheel drive that can be so helpful when you go skiing. Skiers from nearby Essex and Colchester will especially want to take a look at the off-road oriented AT4 model that comes with all-terrain tires, an all-wheel drive system and a torque-vectoring rear axle.
Engines and performance in the GMC Acadia SUV
The GMC Acadia offers a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that's good for 228 horsepower or an available 3.6-liter V6 that can come through with 310 horsepower. We recommend the larger V6 engine so you have the extra power you need for climbing mountains and taking on snowy terrain. The ride in GMC Acadia is stable which can be reassuring when you’re traveling on snowy mountain roads.
An adaptive suspension system is available on select trims that have all-wheel and it can adjust the dampers every two milliseconds. That helps smooth out the ride when you're driving over bumps, helping you and your fellow skiers feel more secure on snow-packed Vermont roadways around Shelburne.
Take the new GMC Terrain for skiing trips near Burlington
The new GMC Terrain is a compact crossover with a muscular exterior that looks good as you ascend snowy mountain roads in Vermont. The cabin in the GMC Terrain gives you plenty of space to store skis and other cold-weather gear and there’s enough seating for up to five skiers on board. The GMC Terrain comes standard with plenty of equipment that skiers appreciate including reassuring safety features, a touch screen infotainment system and smartphone connectivity for both Apple and Android devices.
Engines and performance in the GMC Terrain SUV
The newest version of the GMC Terrain comes with a standard 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that's teamed up with a nine-speed automatic transmission. We strongly recommend that you get the optional all-wheel drive system so you can take on challenging terrain when you go skiing near Burlington. The softly-sprung suspension system is helpful when you travel on I-89 South to nearby ski areas in Richmond. The GMC Terrain has a height-clearance of up to 7.9 inches which is high enough for heavy snowfall. In addition, you can get an available snow/ice mode which will give you extra grip when you're driving in snowy conditions.
The advantages of the GMC Yukon XL on a skiing trip
The GMC Yukon XL has extra-large seats and up to 41.5 cubic feet of cargo space. The third-row seating is much more adult-friendly than the previous generation, giving you about 225 inches of length and making the GMC Yukon XL a first-rate ski machine. You can take on snowy mountain roads with either a 5.3-liter V8 with 355 horsepower or a 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower. You might even consider the optional 3.0-liter 6-cylinder diesel engine that gives the four-wheel-drive Yukon XL up to 756 miles of range: Enough to easily make it to nearby ski areas and back.
