If you look on backcountry.com they always have deals. I gotta Mountain Hardwear Shell for <$150. With a good thermal layer underneath it was plenty warm enough. If you ski once a year who cares how stylish you look??

THis. Go with the layers. You don't need some sophisticated system if you are going once a year. Just a base, shirt, liner and a shell. Remove as necessary.
