As a previous resident of Park City, Utah, I used to hit the slopes daily — and with thousands of skiers and snowboarders flooding into town for the resorts or the aprés, countless ski jackets were on display, too. I’m also a style writer (and a native Floridian sensitive to cold), so I pay special attention to warmth and effectiveness while recommending skiwear. After many snowy seasons, I’ve become an expert in evaluating the best jackets and shells for their durability, versatility, style, functionality, and budget. Skiwear can be expensive, so it’s important to choose the correct jacket for your style, temperature, budget, and design preferences. Read on for the best ski jackets, as determined by our testing, as well as shopper insights and ski-town resident feedback.
