what should I wear hiking in the snow?

I'm going to the snow in the new year, and I've never been before. I'm going skiing and hiking and spending some time outdoors.

I've got all my ski gear but I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what to wear when I was hiking? Should I just wear my ski pants and jacket, or invest in something a little bit lighter and less bulky?

I just moved to alaska two monsths ago from south Texas, so I had the same problem, and I tell you, snow pants are great! if the snow gets on your jeans, then it will melt, you will get wet, then cold, and snow pants prevent that.
