<p>I am new to snowboard. I am not yet prepared to spend a lot of money on it. I know a special jacket for skiing is better but won't it suffice to just use normal urban jacket for skiing in the beginning? </p> <p>Is a normal cheap non-specialized jacket that bad for this activity?</p> <p>I'm going to a ski resort at about 1,600 meters. Last time I was there, it was unnaturally warm in Winter with about -1C temp. But I can't predict weather next time.</p> <p>To answer one of the comments, I was going to go for a snowboard rather than ski, but itsn't there no difference? I have never heard of jackets made for ski or snowboard specifically.</p>
