Replying to Nice ski cars under 10k

I can spend up to about 9-9.5k to get a car and I've done some research but still have limited car knowledge. I live in Colorado, ski summit county, and would like to make some trips to the san juans, utah, etc. so snow performance is key. AWD is preffered. I'd also like to get decent gas mileage so I am avoiding giant SUVs. Right now I'm looking at:
-Subaru Outback
-Subaru Forester
-Honda crv
-volvo xc70
-Ford Escape
-Audi a4/ avant/ allroad

I have a couple of questions. Which of these cars would be my best option and is there anything else to consider? Would an a4 end up costing a ton to repair? What is reasonable mileage to expect in my price range, should I pull the trigger on something with 90k miles or if I wait will I be able to find something in the 60k-80k range?

Thanks and +k for helpful answers and no I don't want a wrx.
