Re: Best PowerShot for ski touring?

Not sure if it is the best, but I snowboard and *love* to carry my G1 X Mark III around at the Alps ski resorts (side-piste, pow, up to 3800 meters altitude, etc.).

I just carry the camera around with a UV filter to replace the protective cap and put the camera body in the goggle pocket of the snowboard jacket, also carry a small cleaning cloth and 1,2 extra batteries for sure.

The weather sealing feature, solid body feel really give me peace of mind, build-in EVF is helpful at those bright sunny days and the 3x optical zoom (max. 12x combined zoom with optical image stabilizer) is handy for those big mountains/glaciers photos and from hiking experience, I can imagine it would also be helpful for those wildlife encountered along the route (admittedly, it does have its limit as it is not a 400/600mm lens).
