I use 8.7 oz ottertex ripstop on all my pants, they’ll keep you dry in the snow but not necessarily in pouring rain

Pretty sure I got various ripstop fabrics for other non ski related projects, but the requirements were similar to a ski pant.

Hard to source good fabric in the US. Nonetheless, I'd recommend looking for a Ripstop. Super durable and waterproof.
