Default Will a snowboard fit in the trunk or car of the GS?

I'm kinda taking up snowboarding as a hobbie now. So I thought I might as well get a snowboard instead of renting one everytime. It'll pay for itself in a few trips so it'll be good.

However, I don't think it'll fit in the trunk though, or the back seats either....

So you fit a 148cm board in the trunk fine? I usually board with a 155 or whatever they provide me given my height (5'7")

I can fit my board (164) in the back seat by placing one end on the floor and letting it sit diagonally across the seats. If you do that, be sure to use a towel to keep the edges from scuffing the seats like I did.

in the trunk, i have a 151cm and it barely fits.. a 155 can probably fit but you might have to shove it in a bit...

I just did some quick measurements of the trunk. There seem to be a good 64-65" across side to side. So there should be "plenty" of room for a snowboard to be in there. However I can't say without having a board in there. I just bought one online, and I'll find out when it comes in.

It's a 153cm (about 60") board, so it'll be a snug fit.
