I'm thinking of the down sweater or the r3 fleece as a layering piece to go under a waterproof shell for skiing. Any thoughts or advice as to which would be more appropriate?

Tommy, the Down Sweater is a great layering option if you're looking for the warmest possible combination. It'll keep you warm in the coldest of conditions, and be a great warm jacket on it's own. The R3 is also warm, but provides slightly less warmth and is more breathable and will be a better option if you do a lot of hiking or traversing and heat up often. So if you run hot and sweat a lot I'd go R3, and if you want to be super warm and aren't worried about overheating go Down Sweater. hope that helps!
