If your primary focus is getting through snow, I'd recommend a Nissan Pathfinder. My parents had a 2001 with all-mode AWD (locking center differential and limited slip rear differential).

It was amazing through deep snow. I remember a few times locking the center differential and just ripping through 15-16" fresh/loose powder like it was nothing, even on all-season tires. I even borrowed it when my STI got high-centered and stuck.

Around town on dry pavement, it was comfortable and handled pretty decently. Wasn't a big SUV, but that made it easy to drive and park.
