Has anyone taken this coat skiing or snowboarding? If so, how does it hold up in the snow?

Denise...actually our daughter wore her Columbia jacket to the ski slope only a couple of days after getting it...and it performed fantastic for her...I specifically asked her if it kept her warm AND dry and she said " Yes Daddy , and I love it! " And since she no doubt spent some time on the ground , being pretty much a beginner , I'd say her Columbia more than exceeded expectations...this especially pleased me since she had originally thought she wanted a NF jacket and I assured her that Columbia had been in the business and doing it well for a very long time...she has been thrilled with her Columbia !

I have 4 or 5 winter coats in it, as well as several dresses and it has held up fine.

I owned one for about 5 years. It will not hold up to snow. Rain yes. We had it in the mountains of NC. We used it to have a semi-permanent campsite. It stayed up from April to Nov. There was no problems even after 3 years. One year it snowed a heavy wet snow and it came down. The weight sagged the canvas and buckled the legs. We just replaced the canvas and two legs and used the rest for another couple years.

Just bought it this summer, no experience with snow yet, but the frame is strong and it has a good pitch, snow should slide off.

I have owned and used the cover in cool to warm climate (no snow or freezing) for several months. It has held up well. Good product.

Well, I have never used it out in the snow, but I keepit in my purse (sometimes in the cold car) & I have never had a problem with it.

We just got ours 2 weeks ago, but were very pleased with how sturdy it is, I think it will hold up for years to come. And yes I think it would handle the snow no problem. It's also very spacious for a 2 to 4 bird coop, we are very impressed with the house.

I live in Northern Ontario. I've had two bad winters with this top and there doesn't seem to be a problem at all with the snow. I do remove the snow before I drive it and on occassion, when it's sitting in the driveway. The top still looks brand new and it is still very tight.

It holds up pretty well. Very warm and pretty durable. The compressed dimensions are accurate.

I have had it for a bit more than a year now. The camera works great still. However, it wasnt all that great in the winter in Northern NY. This is mostly due to the construction of the rear of my car. There is a nice shelf below the licence plate for the snow to pile up on. Anytime more than 6" fell, the camera would become immersed in snow. After removing the snow, the camera didnt have a good picture for 30 mins or so. The finish hasnt seemed to fade anywhere except where I snugged up on the bolts. If you never move the bolts, you wouldnt notice it.

Two that I remember- helmet and strap. It seems better than anything out there. We use it snowboarding.

I have it on my truck non stop. I don't live in the snow, but it's rained and I take it thru carwashes often! I think it would hold up well, but don't know how much weight of snow it wos support. My guess is quit a bit! It's sturdy!

I believe most of it if you can cinch in down. The one I have is way too big for my Great Dane (120lbs) so I don't use it a lot. I got 2XL. It is very nice and warm and covers a good portion of their body. I would think though wading through high snow that the snow would get underneath. But since I have a Dane I couldn't tell you for sure.

Pretty much so. I used it in in the high Sierra at above 11,000 ' this past spring and encountered a hard rain and wet snow. It did it's job well. It's also a very good windbreaker. At some point, all rain jackets lose some of their repellency. I've only had it about a year so i cannot tell how long it will work without leaking, but my expectation is that it'll work well for a few years yet.

My set has held up wonderfully! It truly looks like the day I received it and it has weathered some pretty rough weather. Snow, ice, and some pretty hot days as well. It is now 3 yrs. old.
