Would something like this be good for skiing? Looking for something that would be good for outdoor winter activities such as skiing, ice climbing yet could also be worn on a daily basis (for when I visit MI over the holidays).

I have something simlar that has served me well... I couldn't tell from a quick glance at that link but mine has two parts and the outershell can be used as rain gear during the summer, the inner shell is great for the fall and then combined they make the winter coat. I used to wear it snowmobiling and was fun but it was a bit warm for snowshoeing until we got into the negative temps... It's also held true to the test of time since I got mine in the winter of 1999.

I'm the cold weather newbie here, but it looks good to me, I have a Columbia ski jacket I use that has held up well. I also have Columbia ski pants as well...
Wife bought a north face ski jacket at REI last year that almost every zipper broke on it during the season, I should take it back but I have just been too lazy / busy

So Northface has a lifetime guarantee on their products. There's a form on their website you can print off and mail in with the coat. They should replace it for free, you just have to pay the cost to ship the jacket to them. I'm on my 2nd replacement jacket from them. That being said, I think it's time to give someone else a try. The coat I have is a soft shell. It's water and wind proof, but I don't think its warm enough to spend an extended amount of time outside.

I had the heat on this past weekend, but the air conditioner on last night. This climate change stuff sucks.
I do plan on going snowboarding/skiing over Thanksgiving though.

Ended up purchasing this jacket and matching ski pants yesterday. Columbia had a huge sale and we had a $30 off coupon. I hope it fits and is as warm as the reviews claim.

krak - we have mostly Columbia stuff and it works well. It has actually held up better than our few north face items..
& goodall I have a pair of target ski gloves that have worked excellent in -10 degree windy as hell Colorado weather..
ski'd 4 days so far this year. actually over turkey day I ran into a girl I went to HS with that works at Winter Park, she moved there in 96 after she graduated college. she runs their rental shop or something.. sounds like she has a good life!
