I originally bumped into this jacket at an on-slope Whistler HH store. Selling for upwards of $500 US. Got it here for $320'ish US. Owned for 1.5 seasons.

The jacket is unstoppable. Highly recommended.

Powder Day Features:
well-designed snow skirt: it even snaps into your belt loops on any pair of standard ski pants, great for limiting plumbers crack and the typical high riding nature of skirt linings.
always dry and warm, i usually wear a t-shirt underneath as it stops all moisture and wind. rarely a need for a liner, maybe a sweatshirt for those 10-degree days. this jacket does a great job of retaining any generated body heat whilst zipped up and locked-down.
the hood is well designed, great visibility w/ goggles.
the seamed pocket liners are great, rarely catch whilst zipping up/down.
great front chest pocket for iPod, phone, camera. this chest pocket has two zippers: one that opens to the outside, and one opening to the inside. operating an ipod and routing headphones couldn't be easier. (read that three times to see if you can visualize).

Spring/Sunny Days:
good ventilation courtesy of underarm vents/zips;
get's pretty hot thanks to the black/black color schemes.
removable powder skirt, just don't lose it.
