I don't recommend down for a snowboarding / ski jacket. Like Lam said it gets hot as balls. Even down into the teens and negative temps you will get hot and sweat. Then you play the fun game of trying to cool down, but you over compensate and get too cold. Then you try to warm back up, but get too hot! Then you try to cool down but....yea, this has happened to me before.
@marm0lade: I have a sweet shell with down liner from patagonia. It comes out when we're talking like 15 degrees or below, and even then, with just a base layer underneath. Otherwise, its like 5 layers with the usual shell system.
Brian Lam, don't take offense to this but everytime I see a picture of you, I burst out laughing. lol there's just something about you, you look like you should be a cartoon character hahaha and I mean that in the nicest way possible

No. Nothing offensive there. Not at all.

Also, check your right shoulder. Seems that some caked bear vomit was left unnoticed.
