Is this jacket waterproof? I'm going skiing soon and I was wandering if I would need to put another layer over the top?

The jacket is not waterproof. It does have a treatment to make it repel water. I have the same jacket just from the North Face and I have skied in it a few times with no problem. Now if the snow is really wet and it is a snowy powder day I would not use it.TWEAK: this jacket has synthetic insulation, so it handles being wet very well (i.e. still keeps you warm) but it is designed to be worn with a shell
