I want to buy this jacket but I am worried that it is only water resistant rather than waterproof. Is this that big of a difference? If I am skiing in a snow storm will water/snow penetrate the jacket?

Yeah this is only water resistant, not waterproof. Most softshells are this way, but yeah for snow, it is not that big of a deal. It will allow you to breathe more than a shell if you are huffing in the pow, but on the heavy snow or rainy days, this will start to get wet.
