I am looking for a ski jacket. I want a soft shell that I can layer and use all season. If I layer this with my Atom LT will this jacket be warm in single digit temps? Also, I am 5'7" and 150lbs - what size would l need if I want the option to layer?

The Venta is not really a ski softshell. The Vislon front zipper is quite air permeable (it does not have the waterproof coating) so you may get a chill when bombing down a run. It is more of an alpine jacket. If you want a 4 season jacket that doubles a an outer shell for skiing you should probably look at getting a hardshell (possible even the new FL series of jackets from arcteryx) which is totally waterproof and breathes almost like a softshell.
