I recommend an orange jacket....it's the new black.
Liam,
When I first met Gary, he was the "popsickle" man....his orange jacket just glowed through the Jackson Hole mist. He always was a ahead of his time, only he did not know it! My 5 year old Spyder is a little orange (if there is such a thing as "little orange"). The longer I own it, the more I like it....strange!
Smackboy,
Our friend Ron posted he just bought this Mountain Hardware jacket. Retail is $340, so not major $$$, and, MH has a new process called DryQ that is very waterproof. Plus MH has a great lifetime warranty, and, are now owned by Columbia (I think).

Until today, I did not realize that John Botti likes jackets as much as skis. But he was stylin' by the side of the trail in the recent HH "Freeskiing" video. JB, I presume your coupons get an additional 35% off the allready discounted prices. Two nice jackets! Skiing in Big Sky Montana increases the importance of getting it right!
