Ascensionist or Powder Bowl?

I am aware that these differ quite a bit in regards of the latter being a hard shell jacket (and price), however I am planning to order one of these two. I already got the Das Parka for the cold days, and need one of these as a supplement for the wetter days. I have about 30 ski days a season in all conditions.
Any good advice out there?

Tom, definitely go Powder Bowl. The Ascentionist is a great soft shell, but if it's wet/nasty weather performance you're looking for the Powder Bowl Jacket is the best one for you.
