@MidASkier don't know if you found your jacket yet, but I found mine. Like you, I am a Mid-Atlantic skier. I do not ski enough days to justify multiple jackets, so I needed something versatile. Unlike you, I was looking for a softshell.
After reading this thread I contacted
@TheBestSkier . A few emails later I ended up purchasing a Freeride Systems Antero II. With proper layer management I expect that jacket to be my go-to in every condition except perhaps late spring skiing.
Previous jacket was a Marmot Super Hero Windstopper softshell (pictured in my avatar). It was a nice jacket and served me well for several years. But I was always bugged by the length. It was too short, especially on the lift ride. I out grew it anyway (if you know what I mean).
I can't wait to ski in the Antero II. I never expected to be able to purchase a jacket of that quality for such a (more than) fair price.
