Need a 4x4 and imput

I got a new job that's going to require I live in the Rockies at 8,000 feet. We had a Jetta with studded snow tires when we lived there before but it was not quite up to snuff. The thing about front wheel drive is you loose all traction when going up steep hills, especially driveways (and they have some real corkers out there). I wetn on a few wild rides backwords down a number of long steep driveways. Besides, my boss has politely suggested I have 4x4 so the standby Saab with 4 snows isn't going to work, much as like to get one. Fortunately I won't have to commute so mileage won't be a big deal. We'll probably do some light off roading too. I want to get something (used) in the $10-15K range. Subaru is probably at the top of my list. A Jeep would be fun too or maybe a Range Rover Discovery. I kind of like X-Terras too. Rav4's and CRV's are a possibility but I'm not so sure on how their 4x4 systems are in genuine 4x4 conditions. Audi's kind of scare me mechanically. 4-Runners and Land Cruisers are pretty expensive and don't give much bang for the buck at that price. I'd like to tap the collective wisdom of this board and get some input on any of the above mentioned or ideas we haven't considered.
