hi was just wondering are ski jackets, such as this one, suitable for hill climbing and mountaineering? The norrona shell jackets look thin. Would they keep me warm in freezing temperatures?

Pretty ideal for mountaineering, although there are lighter Primaloft versions. Few are however waterproof as this one is. Powderskirt is removable, and the pitzips are a great offering. This jacket is awesome to combine with a softshell for wintertrips as it doubles as a waterproof shell and a insulation/down jacket.

It should work pretty well for mountaineering. It's insulated so it will keep you warm in cold conditions. This jacket probably has more features than you need for mountaineering, like a powder skirt and pit zips, but that's not such a bad thing.
