Shooting while skiing

...I wonder where you will ski with all the lockdowns around

Anyway, I have been doing snowboard two - three times per year and after several years I have narrowed my ski photography options to two:

1) a good, small P&S with at least a 24-120 zoom, which can easily fit in one of my jacket pockets, such as the Sony RX100 VI (24-200) or Canon G5X mk2 or the TZ200. Have in mind that the RX100 VI had a relatively sharp lens and an impressively fast CAF (the best I have ever used!!). I now have the G5X mk2 which has a shorter but faster and sharper lens, but haven't tested it due to Covid. The big drawback here is that none of these cameras are weatherproof...

OR a small ILC camera such as an m43 (GX8+PL12-60 here) again with a zoom lens of at least 120mm (although more would be better, as seen previously with the RX100 VI). For that you would need a backpack though...

The big advantage here is that the ILC system can be weather resistant and fee a bit more comfortable while carrying at the ski slopes

Personally I think the ideal combination would be a weather proof small P&S with a good 24-200 lens.

Anyone had good luck shooting on the slopes? I have an old GX7, which I find to be winter-jacket pocketable but not weatherproof to inspire confidence or have the battery last in the cold. I more recently got a G85, which I think would function a lot better handling-wise , AF-wise, and for stabilized video, but I don't really want to have to take my backpack off (in the backcountry) every time I want to get a shot or have to carry it "naked" when riding the lifts with my kids. I also have an old "tough" P&S which I've enjoyed being able to grab out of my pants pocket, but the image/video quality isn't as good as m43.

Thinking about this winter, I guess I've narrowed it down to finding the best way to carry my G85 (and 12-60 or 12-32) or maybe picking up a used and older-model RX100 to throw in my pocket. Thoughts on different carrying options like holsters, etc.? Other considerations?

Thanks in advance. Picture for attention:
