I am not into film, I just want to get some footage of skiing and put together some basic edits.

I need a CHEAP camcorder that...

1. Works in cold weather

2. Has digital or overwriteable film (don't want to keep having to buy film)

3. Small enough to fit in my jacket pocket comfortably

4. Doesn't take forever to turn on and record

5. Has a cheap tripod available

i have a flipvideo
they are relatively inexpensive, actually i got mine from woot.com for 40 bucks
decent video quality and easily fit in a jacket pocket, its digital, and does work in cold weather
turning on and recording= slide switch, hit red button
and it has the standard tripod thingy in the bottomw
