Cloudveil Down Patrol Jacket - Men's
Burly

A big, burly jacket for big, burly days.
This thing is well constructed and well thought out. The powder skirt keeps the fluff out and the pit zips help you cool off during the hike to the goods later in the afternoon. The windstopper fabric keeps you toasty while you're sitting on a broken down lift in 45+ mph gusts. There's plenty of sizable pockets for snacks, flasks, and safety necessities.
At 5'11" and 160# the medium leaves enough room for layers (it's got to be single digit or below to need layers), yet doesn't feel too loose.
The one down side is that the hood doesn't fit over a helmet without the aid of your hand holding it in place.
