Ultimate Car Lodge Setup for Skiers and Snowboarders
The car lodge is nothing new for backcountry skiers and snowboarders. But this winter, the only way resorts can keep the lifts turning is to keep everyone safely distanced when they're not skiing – that means hanging out in the parking lot.
Just getting everyone to the mountain with all of their gear is hard enough, so let us worry about the warm meals and comfortable tailgate setup. We've got you covered with camp stoves, tables, chairs, and even pour-over coffee for the whole crew. Keep reading to check out our top picks for the ultimate parking lot car lodge.
CAR LODGE COOKING GEAR
Not only are our designs stowable and dependable, but they're also all powered by legendary Jetboil technology, giving you gourmet cooking at the campsite (or car lodge). Whether you're getting the perfect char on your burger on the SPRK grill, sautéing veggies on the Ignite, or brewing coffee on the Camp Cafe, our cook systems make trailgating delicious.
SPRK Grill
A compact, all-in-one design makes this grill ready to go wherever you go. With precise temperature controls, an easy-to-clean ceramic grate, and an integrated fuel compartment that fits an 8 oz butane canister, it's never been easier to get that perfect grill sear from the back of a car.
Ignite
Great for small groups, the Ignite delivers precise simmer control for accurate flame adjustment, perfect for sautéing up some veggies to go with your burgers.
Camp Café
Nesting together for easy transport and storage, the Camp Cafe brews quality coffee for the whole crew thanks to the pour-over filter holder and 12-cup (60-ounce) coffee carafe. Throw it on the Ignite to heat up the water and you’re in business.
CAR LODGE KITCHEN FURNITURE
Our camping tables are designed to pack small and open up wide. The results? Versatile camp kitchens that fold up into the back of your car.
