Ultimately there is very little difference. I love Marmot, but they have inexplicable product overlap sometimes, and I am not sure why. The Torre is a stretch fabric, the Troll Wall is not, and that is the major difference. The Torre is 5 ounces heavier because of it. The cut of Marmot jackets is very free and you are not likely to feel constrained by them, so it would not be a big selling point to me, but the Torre is also $25ish bucks less, and that may make a difference to me, depending on my last paycheck...

The biggest difference is the styling. The outer fabric is the same, and the Troll seems to be rated at Guaranteed waterproof/breathable vs the 20K/25K of the Torre. The Troll has more pocket options, which is nice. This is sized for a fleece to be under it, so basically I would pick the Troll over the Torre for snowboarding. But the Torre isn't really far behind, so if you want to save the $25, have at it.
