I'll bite. I ski a lot at a ski area that can be brutally cold. <<<<<.
I have a few USST jackets, and other team jackets that are basically coaches jackets. They tend to be better built, better quality "everything", and the heavy ones are warm. I have Spyder, and Phenix, Descente. The downside is that you do look like a wannabe, and/or a billboard. On a brutally cold day, I could care less, to be honest. Nobody will think that I'm posing as Ligety. Maybe his dad.
I spend most days, and every day out West with a whole bunch of layering options, and actually have the same shell in two sizes to accommodate what is under it. Have been comfy at -30F. BTW, the shells are Arcteryx which I bought at deep discount.
However, three seasons ago, I was looking for a super warm coat that was just a touch longer {like covered my hips} and had a really well insulated big hood. Great pockets, and preferably good down.
I bought am Eddie Bauer. I can't recall the exact model. It's up North. It is black with a lime green liner and accents. It's basically a mountaineering coat. The exterior fabric is really great....not like a puffy down that you think can be cut or ouched through easily.
It's really great. I was clued into it by a friend who's patrol staff was outfitted in the same jackets.
I think that the MSRP was maybe $300. I paid more like $180? A lot of coat for the money.
Maybe Eddie Bauer has the same coat, or something similar in the lineup.
Sorry for the lack of details, or pics.
Descente also makes a few very nice, very warm high end jackets and if you search around, they can be found as leftovers at good prices. My last one had a MRSP that was insane.....Maybe $7-800, and I paid about $250. Really nice. It's the same jacket that many teams use. Mine is black, with a few gray/silver accents. Top of the hips, and not a hood that works over a helmet standing around for me. Otherwise great detailing and materials.
