I just received an email from a man who's looking for some help finding larger-sized ski clothes for this girlfriend.

Here's what he writes:
Due to some medical issues during the past year, my girlfriend has gained quite a bit of weight and much of her ski clothing no longer fits (specifically pants and bibs). She hasn't skied yet this season because of this, and doesn't want to go on our annual week-long trip to Steamboat.
Are there any sources for larger size women's pants and bibs? I recently took her shopping and we found Obermayer 'Alta' bibs in a size 18 that were not quite large enough, but another brand's size 20 was too large. She's in a funk now because of the weight gain and taking larger sizes. I'm not sure of her exact weight (touchy subject), but I think she's about 210-220 lbs. She's 5'6" and normally wore a size 16 before. I love her dearly, and I'm sure her outlook would improve tremendously if she could get back out on the slopes and take a vacation.
Can anyone help?
