Welcome to the forum. Circulation issues may or may not be related to your "plus size" description. I am 5'2" and 140 lbs and constantly struggle with boot fit. Where are you located? A good boot fitter can usually figure out the issues and solve the problem. Sometimes, it's the craziest things! As to clothing ... a few of the divas will no doubt chime in on the issue.

There are some threads on plus size ski wear - someone may be able to dredge them up. I seem to recall SunIce getting high marks for good plus size outer wear.
As for boots, did you get them at a fitter, or buy them off the shelf? You would be amazed at how different boots can be and also what a fitter can do. Where do you live?

Obermeyer has some nice things in extended sizes, too. Older thread, I know. But since on Sierra the clearance items seem to run more towards the s and xs (or maybe it just seems that way since those are not my size) I thought there might be some divas that would want to know that today I saw some Smartwool baselayers on clearance in a 3x.
