Of the Arc'teryx softshells, is this the one best suited to alpine skiing in the spring? How does this jacket compare to the Gamma MX?

This is one of the most weather-resistant of the soft shells. the Gamma MX is more breathable and stretchy, but still has great weather resistance. I prefer the MX for spring skiing if you're doing a lot of climbing, otherwise, for spring skiing on lift service, the Venta AR is superb.
