Just because it's dumping snow doesn't mean the resort is nice and powdery, but you'll be willing to wait it out in the parking lot with the Outdoor Research Women's Prologue Storm Trench protecting you. Its Ventia membrane maintains reliable waterproofing throughout the storm, as well as windproofing to block those brisk breezes. Once the snow starts to trickle, roll down the hood, grab your skis, and switch into your ski jacket before you claim your reward.
