Props to Alycium here as well, I lurked on s&c and wm and picked up the component jacket and pants, which are 15k all around - got me through my very rough first season for less than $200 and completely dry (ok, dry enough anyway).
Mountain Hardware - Outer Shell - deep snow days
North Face - Soft Shell - when not in the deep powder (most of the time)
Burton - Down Jacket - haven't tried it yet, feels comfy though
Hoody - warm days
