Surprise feature in Columbia's Omni-Heat Jacket

Ski like a girl and love it! How women can take control of their skiing lives

My new Omni-Heat jacket by Columbia is incredibly warm and stylish. The warmth comes from the revolutionary thermal technology of the tiny silver dots in the inside of the lining that generates and retains heat created by your body. You can read about that on Columbia's website. But what they don't tell you is how that same lining can be used as a chic jacket by itself.

When I was heading out the door for the opening party of One Ski Hill Place in Breckenridge, I realized I had packed only my Columbia jacket and not a coat for the dressy outfit I was wearing. So I unzipped the liner from the outer shell, and to my surprise, I now had a stylish satiny (it's actually taffeta) black jacket that was perfect for the evening soiree! And, one that kept me warm in the frigid night air at 10,100 feet.

The next day I was on the mountain early when temps were in the teens. I was toasty warm with the complete system at work.

For ski traveling, this jacket gives me the best of both worlds. I won't leave home without it!
