Re: Shooting while skiing

Your photo looks like a trail I skied many years ago in Rocky Mountain National Park.

There is something to be said for compact cameras for this purpose, like the TG6. I had a TG4 for a while and it takes pretty good pics in daylight, though it sucks at night. Easy to carry and use, hard to destroy.

I recently bought a used Panasonic ZS100 for cheap, 1" sensor, good daylight images, though not weather resistant. A lot less expensive than an RX100.

I mostly carried compacts when I was back-country skiing. Two of my compact camera ski shots placed 1st and 2nd in challenges here:

It's a trade-off.  I probably went more to the side of small and light when skiing, even if the IQ wasn't as good.
