Right im going to Norway for a week at the end of March and will be doing 3 days at a skiiing resort (but not skiing every day etc maybe one or two have other activities such as dog sledding!). Have never been before but am getting a few lessons on a dry slope to get my balance.

Ski's, helmet etc are all rentable but I need to get myself a jacket and trousers. Temps will be about 1-5c maybe slightly warmer (end of season).

I don't want to spend a great deal but also dont want to be drenched. I've seen jackets ranging from £50 to £500. And clueless about trousers. Anyone know any decent enough cheap jacket/trousers? Or cheap ones to particularly avoid?

Any help appreciated.
 
Cheers guys ended up ordering this http://www.sportsdirect.com/helly-hansen-swift-mens-ski-jacket-408224?colcode=40822403 as could justify a bit more on a nice jacket as looks lightweight enough I could wear it in generally bad weather. Unfortunately, nothing else from them in my size unless paying loads so just went with cheap Nevica trousers, goggles, gloves and some socks :D

Are the under layers needed if temps are gonna be 5-6c +?
