Hey gang, I'm going to try something new this year. Here in NW ORegon we have a place called Mt. Hood. This is the premier skiing and snowboarding area for Oregon (with Mt. Bachelor near Bend,OR coming in a close 2nd and 1st on many skiiers lists) Anyway, this year instead of being on the board killing myself I'm going to snowshow up to the pipes and terrain parks and do some shoots. I have a few friends that are pretty good and can direct me to places, but I wanted to tap the forum as a resource for experience in shooting under these conditions.

So far I'm going to be bringing my 10D, 17-40, 70-200 2.8 nonIS, and 100-400 4.5. I'll probably bring the pod as heavy as it is but may opt to trade out to the monopod.

It's going to be cold, I'm hoping for some sunny days but realistically they will be few and far between. So what's the advice you'd give me? I know enough to be careful about temperature inversions when walking indoors, but other than that I don't have much cold or inclement weather experience. So what's up with the snow? Thanks in advance.
