Does anyone make long/tall ski pants?

Sounds like you have the opposite problem as me. In researching companies that make shorter pants, though, I found several that make long ones, too:
Admittedly, being 5'1", it's not an area that I've researched extensively. But hopefully this will help get you started.

Athleta has a few nice pairs of ski pants in tall sizes.

You rang??
I have Arc'teryx in tall, but they are hard to find (ie, $$$). I also have a pair of Mammut softshell pants that are long enough. I tried on a pair of Patagonia last season, in regular, that were long enough, too.
I found some Rossignol regulars last season that fit me very well, and were quite inexpensive. Google "rossignol triba" and see if you can find them still. I think Sierra Trading Post has some. They run fairly small, too -- I am normally between a small and a medium, and the medium in Rossi fits me very well, with no room to gain a pound.

Snowboard pants seem to run longer than ski pants, but it depends on whether you want the baggier legs or not. And sometimes the waist is too low for comfort. But they are worth a shot.
It's just really tough to find them in a decent style, decent price, AND decent length. I searched for years, and have a pair of long Arc'teryx and those Rossis. But oh, the aggravation... (I didn't want black, so if you are less picky than I, you'll fare better.)

Yeah, the snowboard brands are definitely longer. The nice thing is that they seem to be more useful now-- I was in a shop last night, and they weren't so baggy as they were in past seasons. I haven't tried on Descente, so I don't know.
Also, individual build is always different. My legs are longer than those of my 6-ft-tall sister-in-law.
Speaking of styles changing (eg, pants getting less baggy), I wonder if the skinny-jean look will hit snowsports: back to tuck-in-boot stretch pants???

I was looking at an Athelta catalog last night.. very nice and they do appear to have some skinny jean-ish styles.

I have those ski pants. They are VERY nice. A trimmer fit, but still enough room for 2 base layers. Not the skinny tuck-in-boot type, though, just a trim fit boot-cut jean. I have the longs, and they are long. I would have been fine with the regular length (I'm 5'10").

North Face Freedom pants. 3 lengths. Lots here have had luck with this fit.
ETA: one of the best fits for me ever, super quality too. Worth the retail price.

They are my snow pants of choice for the 7 years running! I just switched to low rise boot cut and they seem to run a little longer in the regular size.
