Getting a down jacket wet while skiing?

Obviously, you shouldn’t get a down jacket wet, due to the fact that it will lose a large percent, if not all of it’s heat retainment.

However, what about using a down jacket when skiing or snowboarding? Falling, and getting wet snow all over you is a big part of both sports. How would a down jacket hold up to wet snow?
