Snowboarding's come a long way from the days when people would strap skis together and "snow surf" down hills and mountains. Today's boards are tailor-made for maximum control and speed, and sculpted to body type and riding style. Since everyone rides a little differently, the Outlander Winter Edition comes with two different snowboards locked into its Thule roof rack—a Volcom board for him, and a K2 board for her. Matching his and hers Volcom jackets, snow pants and gloves come outfitted on an LED illuminated (perfect for morning flat flight) shelf in the trunk, along with a matching set of Oakley goggles and K2 Maysis snowboard boots—after all, the Mitsubishi Outlander is a stylish ride, and it calls for occupants who ride with style.
When the weather outside turns frightful, the customized Outlander insides prove delightful. A custom-reupholstered black leather and light gray suede interior with yellow diamond stitching amps up your in-car style. OEM all-weather floor mats mean no worries about tracking the great outdoors inside, while a Goode SuperMax ski pole grip shifter adds a tasteful little reminder of the fun that awaits upon your return to the slopes. There's even a Keurig B31 mini coffee maker complete with sugar, creamer and K-Cup holders, of course situated in the trunk for your brewing pleasure, with a center console-mounted, LED-illuminated Thermos to keep the coffee warm. Just don't let the occupant of the custom Recaro booster seat in back which, like the interior trim, has been color-matched to the exterior paint have any. Let the little one make funny faces for the GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition mounted to the dash instead.
The custom winter-themed Outlander is guaranteed to be the envy of every other driver at the ski resort. The exterior is painted BASF Casablanca Weiss to provide an arctic ice glow paired with brushed exterior trim, 20-inch Niche Targa brushed silver wheels, Falken tires create sturdy grip in any weather and a StopTech front big brake kit. In addition to a world-class complement of safety features, the 2014 Outlander also adds an all-new trio of cutting-edge safety features. The available Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system uses an onboard camera to monitor lane position in front of the vehicle, alerting the driver if it detects the vehicle leaving its lane. The available Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system uses 77GHz radar technology to accurately judge distances between you and the vehicle ahead and the available Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) system can help you avoid accidents and even automatically apply the brakes, if necessary.
