Ortovox Ortler GORE-TEX Ski Touring Pants - Women

A clear forecast doesn't mean much when you're heading above treeline. We like the Ortler because it delivers serious storm protection without adding unnecessary weight to the pack. The side ventilation is a welcome detail when you're climbing, and the reinforced cuffs are ready for the wear that comes with ski touring.

Consider Another Option If

You prefer the breathability of a softshell for predominantly dry conditions or need a roomier freeride fit.
