I have a question on how warm the insulated model is. Currently for skiing I wear a mid-weight base layer and insulated ski pants. Would these take be suitable to take the place of the baselayer? Will they be too warm with the insulated ski pants?

Frac- I find that the Insulated Stabilyx Tights are really good as a baselayer in most temps except probably above 45 degrees (spring skiing). The material in the INsulated Stabilyx tights is actually temperature regulating. So if it's cold, they stay more thermal vs when it's hot the material is designed to release heat. Very cool function. I think you can't go wrong with the insulated Stabilyx for skiing as an underlayer. Also check out the 3/4 version. I use these most of the time for skiing because they end right above the boot. I hike y ski socks over the tight to keep them in place. It works great. Good luck.

Personally, I ski bare legged under my Helly insulated pants, and that is all the way down to where the lifts don't roll, and only a lightweight base in the backcountry. So if you like being really warm, or ski in super cold, like -40C or below, then these will be fine. If not, I would drop that mid-layer. That is my preference though, others may be different.
