Ok, well i just got a Canon Rebekl XTi digital slr and i am wanting to get it all ready for the ski season, what would be a good backpack and tripod combo for this.....I want to keep it dry and fairly safe, but i dont want the back pack to bulky or anything and it has to have a tripod holder.....my price range is around 100-150 maby more if its super nice.

color doesnt really matter

also do you think this was a good choice for a camera that will mainly be used for skiing, biking and wakeboarding pictures?

Any SLR should be fine, it's all about the lens choices in my opinion.

Canon makes deluxe packs for their cameras, i have seen them selling for $50 or so on ebay.

As for tripods, i am no expert on these. I bought one of the sony ones at walmart for around $40
