you want a backpack that is designed for skiing or has a really snug fit. i use an osprey switch pack to carry all my camera gear and that works fine

Lowe CompuTrekker - 's what I use.

Has an "all weather" cover that comes out and folds over the top of the pack to keep it waterproof. Never needed to use it, found that even if it's snowing hard the inside of the pack stays nice and dry.

not sure if there is anything there right now but you can usually get really nice things off of www.backcountry.com then go to the outlet store there, they usually have hiking backpacks that are waterproof, they get the job done

i use the dakine mule i belive, its their bag meant for water, so it has a removeable resovior, but it works and it isnt big so it doesnt affect my skiing.
