Replying to Filming Pow

Hey NS, I'm leaving for SASS tomorrow and as you might guess, I will be filming a lot of backcountry skiing. I don't have much experience filming in the pow and was wondering if anyone has any tips/tricks they would like to share about what the best method of stabilization is, how to keep a camera dry/safe near a lot of snow, and what you use to carry your camera around in the BC along with avy gear.

I am bringing a t2i, a glidecam, a tripod, a slider, and a camcaddie (basically a handle that attaches via the tripod mount), and a couple of lense.

What are the best tools to film BC with? is the glide cam good for filming from afar? obviously a tripod is good, but I'm not sure I want to carry it around all the time...

Thanks,

Reed
