Snow+DSLRS

I believe this is because of the condensation that might occur inside of the camera from the changing temperatures. just leave it in your backpack or whatever you carry your camera in, a plastic bag wouldn't work as well since it's not as insulated.

Just don't turn it on when it's covered in condensation. I've never had problems, but I don't film skiing so some other people probably have better advice.

Bummer to hear that, there is a whole thread somewhere about broken gear. To add to the plastic bag idea, it helps if you put silica gel packets in it, as these absorb moisture. And there is a case made by delkin for the 60d, pretty much a silicon slip cover. You could also use a rainbag cover if its really a blizzard

Sorry to thread jack, but I have a relevant question. So I got in a really bad crash with my friend while I was skiing and I was filming also. But my lens ripped off my camera I yard sailed, my DIY stabilizer shatter on my friends face. This only thing that stayed with me was my T2i body around my neck(always were your strap). Anyways snow got in my body on the sensor and on the lens. Somehow my lens still fit on my camera and I got the snow off the lens, But I didn't want to try getting the dust the snow left off my sensor. So any one know of any kits, suggestions, ext.. to get dust off my sensor?

what exactly does the plastic bag do?

The silica gel in the plastic bag helps to prevent moisture from building up when you go from outside to inside. I've never had problems just wrapping it in a t shirt and keeping it in my bag tho

yeah i understand the gel just not the bag since it wouldn't really insulate it from the warm air or anything

I'm no expert, I think the idea is that the condensation builds up on the bag though, instead of the lens, then the silica gel is there to absorb it, but just a plastic bag is still better than nothing
