Which of the two are better skipants?

I have a ski-trip next month, and am looking for some clothing equipment. New to skiing, so I am not sure what to expect, but for sure a lot of bruises and falling.

Just wondering which is a better ski pant?

I heard Columbia (except for Titanium) makes pretty borderline okay products, and is only doing well because of their marketing department. The only concern I have with the MEC Hacker is that it is not fully seam taped... so not as waterproof as I would like.

i recommend the MEC pants... Entrant makes good waterproofing.... and u can't go wrong with MEC...

they have a great warranty too.
