I have a great pair of spyder ski pants that i would love to use. Bright red though..
Performance soft shells are made to use in snow. This stuff is worn by ski guides. I am not up on hunting brands, but I imagine they use a similar quality as these MEC pants:

That being said, in a storm above treeline I would rather be in a gore-tex shell. But snowshoeing daytrips below treeline I wear pants like those linked to above and love the comfort.
