The Obermeyer Alpinist Ski Pants are built for skiers who demand warmth, durability, and freedom of movement while tackling everything from groomed runs to challenging mountain terrain. Featuring a 15K waterproof-rated shell, these insulated ski pants provide dependable protection against snow and wet conditions, while 40g Needlepunch insulation delivers lightweight warmth without restricting mobility. Two-way stretch fabric moves naturally with your body through every turn, and Obermeyer's Control Zone Ventilation technology lets you release excess heat when the action picks up. An adjustable waistband ensures a comfortable, secure fit, while zippered hem gussets make it easy to accommodate ski boots. Multiple storage options, including cargo, zippered handwarmer, and seat pockets, keep essentials close at hand throughout the day. Combining practical mountain features with a comfortable, performance-oriented design, the Obermeyer Alpinist Pants are ready for cold chairlift rides, fast descents, and unpredictable winter weather.
The Alpinist features a waterproof-rated shell designed to resist moisture penetration under a 15,000 mm hydrostatic pressure test. This enhanced protection helps keep snow and wet weather from reaching your layers, making the pants a dependable option when mountain conditions turn stormy.
Lightweight 40g Needlepunch insulation provides subtle warmth without unnecessary bulk. This low-profile construction allows skiers to regulate warmth with their preferred base layers while maintaining freedom of movement during active skiing.
Flexible two-way stretch fabric moves naturally with the body during turns, traverses, and boot adjustments. This added mobility helps prevent the pants from feeling restrictive when bending into an athletic skiing stance or exploring more demanding terrain.
Obermeyer's Control Zone Ventilation system provides adjustable airflow to help manage body temperature during demanding runs and changing mountain conditions. Open the vents to release excess heat when activity picks up, then close them when temperatures drop or the wind starts blowing.
Integrated mesh gussets help promote airflow while providing a protective barrier behind ventilation openings. This allows excess heat and moisture to escape without leaving the vent areas completely exposed, improving comfort during active skiing.
Strategically sealed seams provide additional weather protection in areas most exposed to snow and moisture. This targeted construction helps reduce water penetration while preserving flexibility and comfort throughout the garment.
Full-Motion articulation uses an ergonomic construction designed to follow natural body movements. Whether you're driving into a carved turn, bending to adjust your boots, or navigating uneven terrain, the articulated design helps reduce restriction and maintain comfortable mobility.
A contoured, high-back waistband provides additional coverage and support around the lower back. This design helps maintain a secure fit when bending forward or moving into an athletic skiing stance while reducing the chance of snow entering around the waist.
The adjustable waistband allows you to fine-tune the fit for comfort and security. Whether you're wearing lightweight base layers or adding insulation on colder days, the adjustable design helps keep the pants comfortably positioned without restricting movement.
Convenient hook-and-loop adjustments make it easy to customize the fit without complicated hardware. This simple, secure adjustment system helps maintain a comfortable fit throughout the day.
Integrated powder cuffs with gripper elastic create a secure seal around ski boots to help prevent snow from entering the pant legs. Their water-resistant construction provides additional protection when skiing through fresh snow or wet conditions.
Convenient zipper openings at the lower pant legs provide extra room around ski boots and make it easier to adjust the cuffs. Open the zippers for additional clearance when putting on or removing boots, then close them for a streamlined fit.
Durable YKK zippers provide dependable operation in cold-weather conditions. Their reliable construction helps keep pockets, cuffs, and other zippered areas functioning smoothly through repeated use.
Secure zippered handwarmer pockets provide convenient storage for small essentials while offering a comfortable place to warm your hands between runs. Zipper closures help keep valuables safely contained while skiing or walking around the resort.
Additional cargo pockets provide practical storage for small accessories and essentials you want close at hand. Their convenient placement helps keep your gear organized without overloading jacket pockets.
Dedicated seat pockets provide additional storage for small belongings, giving you more options for organizing everyday mountain essentials.
Durable hem construction helps protect the lower pant legs from wear caused by ski boots, equipment, and rough surfaces. This reinforcement improves durability in an area that experiences frequent contact and friction.
Reinforced scuffguards add protection in high-wear areas around the lower legs. Designed to withstand contact with ski boots and equipment, they help reduce damage from repeated abrasion and extend the useful life of the pants.
Additional reinforcement along the inseams improves durability in areas exposed to repeated movement and friction. This construction helps the Alpinist withstand regular use throughout the winter season.
The Alpinist is offered in additional sizing options to help accommodate different body types and fit preferences. Refer to the available product variants and the size chart below to select the best fit.
A 15,000 mm waterproof rating indicates that the fabric can resist the pressure of a 15,000 mm column of water under standardized testing conditions. This level of waterproofing offers enhanced resistance to snow and moisture compared with typical 10K-rated fabrics, making it useful for variable mountain weather.
With 40g Needlepunch insulation, the Alpinist provides a light layer of warmth without feeling bulky. This lower-profile insulation makes it easy to customize comfort using different base layers depending on the temperature and your activity level.
Control Zone Ventilation and integrated mesh gussets work together to release excess heat when activity levels increase. Combined with lightweight insulation, this helps the pants remain comfortable across changing temperatures and varying levels of exertion.

Choosing Your Size: Measure around your natural waist, the fullest part of your hips, and your upper thigh, then compare those measurements with the size chart above. If you're between sizes, consider your preferred fit and the amount of layering you plan to wear underneath.
Waist Adjustment: The contoured high-back waistband provides additional coverage while hook-and-loop adjustments allow you to fine-tune the fit. The pants should remain comfortably positioned while allowing unrestricted bending and movement.
Layering: The 40g Needlepunch insulation provides lightweight warmth, making the pants easy to pair with different base layers. Choose a warmer thermal layer for colder days or a lightweight layer for active skiing.
Ventilation: Use the CZV Control Zone Ventilation system to release excess heat during demanding activity. Mesh gussets help maintain airflow while providing coverage behind the vents.
Boot Compatibility: Zippered hem gussets and water-resistant powder cuffs help accommodate ski boots while limiting snow entry. Adjust the cuffs so they fit comfortably around the boots without bunching.
Mobility: Two-way stretch fabric and Full-Motion articulation support natural movement during skiing. When trying on the pants, bend your knees and move into a skiing stance to ensure the fabric allows comfortable motion without pulling or restriction.
Special Sizing: The Alpinist is available in additional sizing options, depending on the product variant. Check the available sizes and inseam lengths before ordering.
