What's more durable? Goretex pro shell or Goretex soft shell? I'm extremely rough on gear and need a jacket that can hold up to skiing, general camping and mountaineering. Also which will offer better protection from rain? Although I'm looking for a primarily winter jacket, I want to be dry when Vermont winters throw me a curve ball.

Sounds like a Pro-shell jacket would suit you better. Pro-shell tends to be more packable, breathable and durable. Softshell is warmer, softer and more quiet. Take a look at the Arc'teryx Rush (similar to the Sabre SV, but in pro-shell, and with more pockets) the Alpha SV-maximum toughness or the Beta AR for a super versatile jacket for all seasons.
