I go skiing every year and I also go on tons of backpacking trips in the mountains where it tends to get extremely cold and rainy. I wanted to get a jacket that would be great for both of these things and was thinking the stingray might be the one. Which jackets would you recommend?

If you're using your jacket more for backpacking and the occasional ski trip you'll be better served by the Arc'teryx Beta AR. The Stingray is made from goretex softshell, so is going to be heavier and more bulky when you pack it. The GoreTex Pro-shell, used in the Beta AR is lighter, more packable, more breathable, and it also uses a more durable face fabric, but doesn't give up any of the weather protection. The only thing you'll give up is a powder skirt.
