Im 6'5" and a tall skinny 185lbs and I hate baggy wide jackets. Do I want LARGE or XL? Also, can I use this as my go to Ski jacket in all conditions?

I'd probably go with the XL if I were you. You can definitely use this as you "Go To" ski jacket. I spend 4 1/2 hours in heavy, heavy snow conditions a few days ago and it held up like a champ! To make it just a little better you could treat it with Nikwax and it'd be unstoppable. You'll love it!It has also become my go-to ski jacket. Over 35 days at the bird with it and it still holds up great afterwards at the bar or in town. Unless you have unusually long arms...the large size should fit you nice and snug without being constricting.
