I don't ski but I can tell you they kept me warm on a day when we had wind chills of 10 below zero and I was working outside. Does that help?

Personally, I wouldn't use this helmet for skiing. I bought this for my daughter for ice skating, but when she skis, we use a ski helmet. If you are renting equipment, a ski helmet is usually included. You can google ski helmet vs skate helmet and decide for yourself. Here's one from REI http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/snow-helmet.html

I am not sure for cros country I would say yes if you ave mooth bottom skis. If have fishscale type base ski , good for climbing I would do more internt research . I do know Hertel is a good long lasting wax for downhill skis.

I think you would stand a chance, but it will take some practice. It wasn't very difficult for me to learn. I've never gone skiing, but it's the same kind of motion you would use if you were skiing. Watch a video of someone riding it and decide if you can see yourself doing it is my best advice.

It's an awesome jacket. Minnesota gets pretty darn cold so you'd probably want a layer under the jacket. May be a fleece.

Very lightweight and not overly snug or bulky at all. Great wind resistance. Reflective lining keeps in heat. We use it in boating conditions where dampness and wind can chill you. Not sure how this might relate to skiing, but that is what Columbia promotes it for.

It provides a respectable amount of warmth for what it is (a rain jacket, not a coat). Throw on a couple layers under this jacket and you're good to go. I've worn this in non-rain, less than 40 degree (F) conditions and it's kept me warm with some layering.

I can't comment on cross country skiing, but it is great all-temp alpine ski. Last weekend I was skiing +10C to -5C temps without issue. I've also skied in -20C temps and it performed well. In warmer temps I do crayon it on every night to ensure my bases don't get to dry. Hope this helps.

It will depend on how cold the area is and the altitude. The best way is to just try it.

Yeah, I think it would. With the inner lining it's quite warm. Make sure you dress in layers.

Absolutely, these are very light but still keep your legs very warm in cold temperatures...I wore them as a base layer in 20-60 degree weather.

Yes it is! It's excelente good for travelling (air travel) with two paires of ski and some clothes.

Get the medium. That way you can add layers under if you need to in winter.

I love this jacket! I wear it in Houston, TX and in NYC. When temperatures are in the 40s it is great! I also bought the Marmot waterproof rain jacket, and I use it for a mid layer. When combined it is a good ski option for spring skiing.

Never tried for skiing, but these are some of the best air soft goggles I have. Fogging is at minimum, far less than anything else I own. The dark tint should be perfect for skiing, since the snow reflects so much sun light.
