Ava Alpine II Insulated Jacket

Skiers who want insulation, snow-oriented pockets, a powder skirt, and a helmet-compatible hood, rather than a simple lightweight rain jacket.

Exact-model buyers praise warmth, useful pockets, wind protection, and thumbhole cuffs that help keep cold and snow out. One lilac-jacket wearer appreciated it for snowy outdoor chores. Columbia specifies waterproof-breathable fabric with critically sealed seams and thermal-reflective lining; these are manufacturer features, not independent test results.

One buyer found the hood so large without a helmet that it covered their face and disliked the lack of a two-way zipper. Others describe a boxy or oversized fit, and one criticized the faux-fur trim's quality. These comments concern other or unspecified colors; I found no verified review specifically assessing the Mineral Pink/Antique Mauve combination.
