Size charts almost never work for me, so after reading through the reviews, I tried multiple sizes and styles from Snow Country Outerwear. I reviewed each item and size below for comparison, and I copied this review to each product page.
I have an extreme pear shape: 46H US / 46FF UK bra size, 54-52-68 current measurements, and I generally wear US women's size 22/24 & 2X/3X tops and size 24/26 & 3X/4X bottoms. (See what I mean? No size chart would tell me that my hips would fit comfortably into size 24 jeans or 3X active pants, and yet here we are.) Anyway, I am 5'6" tall with a 33" inseam, 21" upper arm, 32" upper leg, and 20" calf.
I am providing all of this information because measurements, body shape, weight distribution, and typical clothing size are much more useful than height/weight for determining fit. If you find these body stats useful, I implore you to include your stats in your own reviews!

1a. Snow Country Outerwear Women's Plus Size Snow Ski Bibs Overalls Pants, size 4X
This snow bib is fantastic! I would have given it five stars if not for the hassle of trying and returning multiple garments due to the inaccurate size chart.
The 4X is a perfect fit. It’s comfortable, it moves well, and it kept me warm and dry while tubing at Arctic Valley, Alaska at 10°F. I appreciate the ribbed side gussets, which allow for a comfortable fit and good movement. I had the sides partially stretched in a standing position, with room to slide my arms down to adjust the leggings I wore underneath. This is great because they'll still fit if I fluctuate up or down a bit in size. The keychain loop ensures that I won't lose my car keys on the mountain. I appreciate the leg gaiters for keeping snow out of boots, although the elastic openings are way too wide (they can easily fit over my calves). However, they stay put when I tuck them into my boots, and the pant legs are the perfect length. The only things missing are the lower leg pockets and the zipper ventilation found in other Snow Country Outerwear garments.
An additional note about movement: I found that I was able to bend my knees much more easily in this 4X bib than I could in the 5X snow ski pants (#2a below).

1b. Snow Country Outerwear Women's Plus Size Snow Ski Bibs Overalls Pants, size 6X
I originally tried the 6X based on the size chart since I have 68" hips. This snow bib was comically large on me. Have you ever seen a young kid wearing an adult's clothes? That's what this felt like. My partner could have fit inside this snow bib with me, no joke. That said, the fit was actually in between the 5X and 6X sizes of the snow ski pants (#2a and 2b below) with the side gussets hanging unstretched. I returned this 6X bib and ordered the 4X instead, which was perfect.

2a. Snow Country Outerwear Womens Plus Size Snow Ski Pants, size 5X
Despite the size chart measurements indicating that the 5X would be too small, these snow pants were roomy in the waist and hips even after tightening the velcro waist straps. They were very loose in the legs and they were slightly long, although I wasn't tripping over the legs. Weirdly, they did not bend well at the knees. Even though they were loose, the pant legs limited my movement every time I tried to squat. On the plus side, the lower leg pockets could come in handy, and I appreciated the inner leg ventilation zippers. I returned these and went with the 4X ski bib instead (#1a above).

2b. Snow Country Outerwear Womens Plus Size Snow Ski Pants, size 6X
This ended up being the largest of the pants and snow bibs that I tried. Again, the size chart was misleading. Even though my hips measure at the top end of the size chart, I was swimming in these snow pants. I returned them and went with the 4X ski bib instead (#1a above).

3. Snow Country Outerwear Women's Plus Size Flurry Ski Coat Jacket, size 5X
I probably should have tried a 4X because this jacket is very roomy, but I was concerned about the hip measurement based on the size chart. The hip area is a little roomy in the 5X, and it's way too big on me in the bust and waist. I suppose I could fill out the top if I layered several bulky sweaters underneath. However, this is a well-made, comfortable, warm jacket. I apprec...
