Honestly, check out FreeRide systems if you want a bomber waterproof ski jacket that will last you a long time, made in the USA, and the most personalized customer service you'll ever get. I believe the rep that hangs out on PugSki is @TheBestSkier .
If its good enough for ABC Hurricane crews, its good enough for skiing in the NE.
Also, keep in mind that while their prices on their website may be a little sticker shock -- there are pugskier discounts which bring them down a good bit.
Beautiful jackets. Missing a sleeve pocket, but really beautiful. I especially like the hard shell versions. Malheureusement, they break the $400 barrier, through which I may not pass — not this season anyway.
