You should be able to get a nice goretex shell for like $300 max. I find my ski jacket to be pretty good for most things but I definitely would have been more comfortable in those fancy layers. Which brings me to another things, gloves or mitts. I have what would be considered great gloves but you have to be way to careful about not getting the inside wet. Not sure how much the mitts I wear now are because they were a gift but they’re definitely expensive and there’s a huge improvement. Marmot has some good stuff.
