How waterproof is the shell? My wife wants a very warm coat while skiing and although she doesn't plan to use it in super wet conditions where a gore-tex shell would be more appropriate would this be good in light snow?

This would work in light snow. Pertex Endurance isn't technically waterproof, but it is water resistant and will work fine in snow. Pertex says it achieves a water column of >1000mm.
