Simple answer Yes it will, but it's strengths are as a go anywhere. If you are after a ski only jacket, then the Sidewinder is the puppy.

This wouldn't be my first recommendation for a ski jacket only because of how short it is. If you are using bibs underneath, then its probably fine, but I personally would want something longer. This really becomes a factor since at your measurements I'd be inclined to say that you would need a medium since I think you would be swimming through the chest in a large. If you are looking for a versatile gore-tex shell that can go between skiing and other non-snowsport activities, I'd look at one of the Theta jackets which have a longer cut to them. If you are looking for something more snowsports-oriented, the Sidewinder jackets are fantastic.
