Can I buy snowboard gear for skiing?

I am 25 and can ski pretty damn good. I was looking at getting Snowboard Pants and a Snowboard Jacket rather than ski stuff. I am not into all of the preppy Mountain Hardwear/Northface crap I like the way the Burton stuff looks. I am just wondering will there be a performance difference? I am looking at the Burton Apres jacket and snowboard pants (because they are not nut huggers).
Well I just won the Apres jacket on ebay for 117.00 the bastard runs for 225+ everywhere I have seen it. As far as the pants I will probably go with Burton. If a ski lift operator makes fun of me I will kick my skies off and shove a ski pole up his @ss.

There really isnt a lot of difference.

I think snowboarding apparel could be used for skiing because in both sports, your basically keeping the snow out of your clothes and prevent yourself from catching a cold. I dont think there is much of a performance difference because snowboarding apparel and skiing apparel are pretty much the same thing.
