Minimal difference - snowboards jackets are usually longer for better ass coverage, as they spend more time sitting down!
Personally I prefer a slightly longer cut, whether it is technically a 'ski' or 'snowboard' jacket doesn't really bother me. If you like it, keep it

@Ray Zorro, no. Only however the brand markets themselves. How long they're cut varies more between brands than between targetted sports.

@Ray Zorro, maybe the question you should be asking is How do I feel about cross dressing, and Am I prepared to become a one planker?

@Ray Zorro, we should get together: I ski with in boarder trousers with boarder gloves - more comfortable and tougher than standard skier stuff.

Cover the logo with a piece of Duct Tape (various colours are available...), hides the snowboarders and makes you look 'HardCore' !!

Not really. Most of the higher end technical stuff is marketed more at skiers. Key word being marketed as there is really no difference in requirements, other than maybe a reinforced patch on the inside around the ankles for skiers.

Yes.
About £150 a pop. Boarding kit is better value and looks better.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@Ray Zorro,
Nope not too much difference but don't blame anyone here if you start looking a bit Goofy ! while sliding around

@Ray Zorro, Go on ebay, buy a "sponsors" badge like Audi/Mercedes/Milka/Swedish-Bank/ Ski-Austria and cover up the snowboarder logo.

You know it makes sense.

I never thought there was a difference until I skied with a boarder who managed to split the *ahem* rear seam of their ski trousers (cue much sniggering followed by an impromptu in-resort shopping trip). Apparently they're baggy for a reason

Your sideways-snowsliding jacket is probably most remarkable on the inside where it will have pockets for goggles, a phone, an iPod (and cable routing), a spare beanie, and a 24 hour supply of pre-rolled marijuana cigarettes.

@Ray Zorro, You're perfectly attired - now all you have to do is get rid of those ridiculous planks, throw away those crutches and embrace the One True Edge and slide towards a glorious, better tomorrow. HALLELUJAH BROTHER!
@albinomountainbadger, for several years a friend of mine had a FourSquare jacket called the Sixpack so named because you could quite comfortably accommodate six cans of beer in the various stash pockets and not notice.

I'm guessing he'd notice six cans of beer in a crash though...
A lot of snowboarder stuff is well thought out though, my old 686 pants outlasted a lot of salopettes and they even had a tiny multi-tool and beer bottle opener stashed in a little pocket on the ankle.

You're supposed to get rid of them by the time you're off the first lift of the day.
Integrated bottle openers into zip pulls and discrete little 'hidden' pockets were a mainstay for a while... It's like they think we're all about beer and weed.

@Richard_Sideways, well it is odd that only snowboarders have those little straps on their gloves isn't it? Nothing to do with always taking them off to roll a cheeky one on the lifts is it...?

@albinomountainbadger, far be it for me to promote the stereotype but we were on a lift in Whistler and the guy next to us turns around and says "Excuse me, do you mind if I smoke?" "No problem" says us, and he proceeds to hand-raise and consume a joint you could choke a horse on...
