Ladies Ski Pants

Just starting to ski/snowboard. What type of pants should I get and does it make a difference?

3 parts to my question. 1) Is the a functional difference between ski and snowboard pants? 2) Which kind should I buy as a beginner who will be engaged in both activities? 3) Any recommended brands or places to shop?

1. I'm pretty certain their is no real difference between ski pants and snowboard pants other than maybe the style of it. All you should really look for is keeping the waterproofing and beathability above 10k. http://backcountryoutlet.com http://moosejaw.com http://dogfunk.com http://www.sierrasnowboard.com/ http://the-house.com http://www.boardparadise.com/snow/ http://www.whiskeymilitia.com/ - timed sales, you could get lucky though.
2. 1) Pretty sure theres no differents, some snowpants are MADE for snowboarding though, like I have a brand called special blend, and they have things for snowboarding threwout the pants. 2) make sure you can bend, fall in them, when I try mine on i bend and fall backwards in the store and see if its good, because you will be falling alot, extra room in the bum for the falling . 3) RonJon surf shop, they have all snowboarding stuff. I recommend special blend, I really like my snowpants .
