Hi - I'm looking for a jacket to wear for ski touring (all weather conditions) including powder descents. I already have a good softshell and a more classic cold weather "on-piste" heavier ski jacket. I am torn between buying an Arc'teryx hard shell that I could stowe and throw over my softshell if necessary, or to buy something like the Venta or similar. Realize there is no real "one stop shopping", but if you had to own 1 piece for these requirements which would it be? Any other alternative brands/models also? Many thx...

The Arc'Teryx Alpha SL sounds like your best answer. It is awesome.

im a huge fan of layering, if you want something stowable, durable, and weatherproof, then go for a gore tex paclite jacket...or an eVent jacket
