Q. I'm getting a new ski jacket and i need a jacket that fits well but not baggy, not like 500 dollars or acteryx( way to expensive), preferably Oakley
A. I've noticed a lot of people actually wearing burton jackets that ski, just for pure comfort and if you are willing to go that direction I would recommend the Burton 3/2 it's has a stylish look without being ridiculous and it's also on sale for a good price right now.
The link to that and some others: http://www.the-house.com/sntp-burton.html
If you are set on Oakley, I recommend the Air Raid which i've personally used (http://www.oakley.com) and for a more affordable price the Oakley Infantry Jacket (http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Oakley-Infantry-Jacket-Mens/OAK1754M.html?CMP_ID=SH_FRO001&CMP_SKU=OAK1754&mv_pc=r126) it has a cleaner look while showing you have a knowledge of what to wear for functionality and style.

What type of clothes should I buy to go to a ski resort?
Q. I'm thinking about going to a ski resort as a graduation present for myself this December. But I am from Texas and am not used to cold weather. In detail what is essential to have that I should start buying now?
Thanks
Thanks
A. 1. Good socks and undergarments. NOT COTTON!!! Smartwool or similar for socks. Bergeline, Tekwik or similar for undergarments.
2. Goretex jacket and pants. Could be lined or not. Maybe a zip out liner. Kjus, Cloud Veil, Arcteryx, North Face, Mountain Hardware, Columbia are some good, popular brands. I tend to go with a shell type jacket and wear a medium weight fleece jacket under. Similar with pants.
3. Turtle fur or similar hat and neck gaiter (gaiter for colder days).
4. Gloves or mittens. Swany and Reusch are good brands.
5. Goggles and glasses. Smith, Oakley, Bolle, Scott are good brands.

What are some cool brands for ski gear?
Q. I just got back into skiing last year, it was kind of a last minute thing so i didnt go get cool gear. I just used my normal winter jacket and a pair of standard black snow pants i found cheap at a local sports store. I am looking for a coat and a pair of snow pants.
My skis are red, white and black. They are K2 Public Enemy skis.
What are some cool brands, and could you maybe post some links?
Thanks!

A. There are so many sick ski wear brands out there now. I really like Oakley, Armada, Salomon, Burton, 686... you can really get away with wearing anything on the slopes. Just don't get too matchy, matchy - its the best way to look like a beginner.
