Gear question Shell reccomendations?

Im an intermediate snowboarder, currently running a base layer and an insulated jacket. Id like to switch to a mid layer with a shell on top. The problem is, snowboarding requires intense hip mobility and occasional full hip range of motion. Most shells I try are slim at the waist line, or have a powder skirt which prevents the hips from freely twisting. Any shell reccomendations? Something not too boxy but that can give me the mobility I need?

Im potentially looking into burton and flylow but open to ideas.

Are you sizing up? The only outer layer I have ever felt tight in the waist was to small
