Should I get this one or the Venta AR, for occasional cold dry day skiing with layering underneath, or on a wet day with a waterproof shell over it?

I'd suggest going with the Arc'teryx Gamma AR if you want to use if for layering. It still blocks about 90% of wind, but breathes, and layers better than a Venta AR, due to the stretch woven fabric, and lack of Windstopper membrane. This jacket will cover a huge range of conditions. I've skied plenty of days in light snow, and it worked great.
