Nothing saps motivation to do another lap than a melting wad of snow down your pants. That's why the fine folks at Columbia designed these ultra-stylish snow pants with elements that combine the best of both worlds. The Columbia Women's Back Up and Out Ski Pants give you that cute, flattering low-rise waist that you want with a high-rise Back Up(R) waist to seal out wayward snowflakes and chilly breezes. Offering all-over protection from waterproof breathable Omni-Tech(R) stretch polyester shell fabric and heat-reflecting Omni-Heat(R) lining you'll be dry and snug as the storm rages outside. Polyester 60g insulation bumps up the warmth factor to keep you going strong when the temperatures really drop. Stretch panels and articulated knees keep you mobile and vents keep you cool if the sun comes out to play. Whether you make your turns on the wide open slopes of Mt Hood or through the tree-lined powder stashes of Mt Bachelor, you'll be looking as hot and active as said volcanoes when you're wearing the Columbia Back Up and Out Ski Pants for women. Danger, high voltage.
