Lets keep the discussion based purely on the safety and handling of the cars in the snow and not about my car getting dirty and what not. Our snowboards and luggage will fit in my car after putting the back seats down. I just want to make sure we are choosing the correct car tonight for safety reasons only. Thanks in advance for any advice or input.

If rears are good on the civic, i'd move them up front real quick...easy to do and should be done anyways IMO. On fwd, I always like the best tires up front...

if there's salt on the roads (and they're probably will be) then it will mess up your G's undercarriage. or any car's undercarriage, for that matter. 
but for safety, I'd say take the G over the civic. these guys are right, civic will have a hard time towing you, your luggage, and your boards up hills/mountains.
but this is jmo.
