Replying to So i'm shooting a pro at hood in a few weeks... (advice needed)

so i'm doing an in park session with a pro down at hood in a few weeks...and to be honest i've never shot action before, nor have i shot with anything longer than 135, nor have i shot on snow. don't ask about who i'm shooting, or for what publication as i haven't cleared it with the editor.


i'm not really too worried as i always find a way to make something work by the time i put my camera in my bag and head home. so to all you photogs who have some experience in the area could you please answer the following. oh and i shoot strictly in film.

1. would a 70 200L 2.8 suffice? do i need to go longer? i'll rent. (maybe the 4L)

2. obviously i'll need to freeze the shots which means high speed film, will 100 be fast enough, or do i need to regress to 200?

3. anything i should know about shooting on snow?

4. i was thinking i'd go with a polarizer filter, thoughts?


thanks, i appreciate it.
