Not sure what I am looking for when it comes to insulation... I am looking to buy these pants (or others) to go skiing in Colorado in March. I know sometimes it can be cold if a storm is dumping snow but i've also heard the of people skiing in their t-shirts. Will these pants be too hot? Any other recommendations?

I've been skiing in Colorado for the past six years, and what you say is true. I've seen 15-degree blizzards and 35-degree bluebird days on consecutive days. My strategy was to get the non-insulated Freedom pant from North Face, and then on hot days I wear no long underwear and keep the side vents open. On cold days, wear more insulation and keep the vents closed. My thought was that you can never wear less insulation than what's built into the pants, so I decided I wanted more freedom to regulate temperature.
