I’d also recommend looking into something that is a 3 in 1 system aka something that has a waterproof shell and a removable liner. That way you are covered jacket wise regardless of what the weather throws at you from now til april. ---

Layers FTW. ---

What I have is an Outdoor Research Gore-Tex Paclite shell which is wind and water proof but not warm at all. Then I have a Helly Hansen Fleece jacket that is mad warm that i wear under it. Its nice because I can wear the Outdoor research shell in the middle of summer as a rain coat. Plus since its Paclite it compresses down to the size of a softball or so so it takes no space up when you arent using it. ---

I bought a sweet l.l. bean ski jacket and matching gloves. It came to about 200 bucks total. I love it.

I have had a mountain hardware jacket for the last 4 seasons. Super durable. In the slush, it’s just starting to lose its waterproofness. It doesn’t get you wet, but the outter layer of fabric will soak up a bit of water. I caught it on sale in the spring for like $180. ![http://media.rei.com/media/cc/c3aa935e-5f74-4263-98b8-ea358a795107.jpg](http://media.rei.com/media/cc/c3aa935e-5f74-4263-98b8-ea358a795107.jpg) ---

Abercrombie=fail for ski coats. Dumping waterproofer on a jacket doesn’t make it anywhere close to the performance of a ski coat. Unless you ride or ski, and have owned both, you wouldn’t get it. Its not about how warm the coat makes you…actually, you don’t want to be to toasty because you sweat. Sweating makes you colder…therefore you need a jacket that is warm and breathable for skiing. ---

Looking for a Jacket I saw last night. Looks like a typical winter Burton jacket and the like, black throughout with checkered/boxed design white lines going on the entire jacket. So black jacket, white lines aaand go! ---
