yeah i think it would be great if you're looking for an insulated jacket for backcountry skiing. It's going to be a little heavier and less packable, but warmer. The Patagonia Ascentionist is a sweet option if you're looking for something uninsulated.

It would work just fine for skiing as far as material and warmth goes. The only drawback I can see to it is that it does not have a powder skirt and since it is made mostly for climbing the length is a little shorter on it.
