Where do you go to get modest (Jewish or Muslim style, I don't care) clothing for winter sports? I haven't done any winter sports since I made the decision to dress modestly, and I'm planning on attending next year's family reunion which will almost certainly be held at a ski lodge.
I'm looking specifically for ski attire at this time. I can't find any clothing that conforms to my religious modesty laws and is also suitable for being outdoors in extreme cold and wet (snow), with stretch so I can engaged in vigorous activity without ripping it.
The clothing needs to be breathable and stretchy, and ideally would be windproof and waterproof, though I can get by without that. The waistband of the trousers needs to be elasticized, and the crotch needs a gusset so I can move really freely while skiing or ice skating. The top should be equally stretchy and breathable. Additionally, it has to be long enough to cover/conceal me in the middle of the body, where the legs meet together; ideally it would also cover the knees.
As a very last resort, I could buy 'normal' ski wear and then put a knee-length shirt/dress of T-shirt material beneath it for modesty, but I'd rather wear one cohesive, matching outfit if I could find one.
Ideas?

That's a good idea, but if you will reread the post, I mentioned that I've already got my headgear squared away. I need athletic clothing for the whole rest of my body. My head's fine.
Also, this is a Jewish-Muslim guild. Not every girl here is Muslim and therefore we're not all required to wear hijab.
