Keep it on your back?

i keep it inside my bagged lunch

mine is small so my coat pocket works but lunch bags work well too or keeping it on you is always a good idea too

Either in my car or in my hands or someone elses hands.

free bag check at mount snow...either that or we have it. so no probs. keep it in a car

 

[dave44]

Or you could ask the lifties to hold onto your bag for a bit

never leave it out of sight without it being locked or safetly secured. Either have it with you, or put it in a locker, your car, bag check (mount snow). never leave it in your ski bag just chillen in the lodge

I keep my dslr in my Dakine Sequence if I take it out shooting. Usually it's pretty protected in the camera block and the bag is well secured to my back so it's not bouncing too much. I also wrap the lenses and cam in bandanas or the lens cases or whatever and then put that in the separate compartments in the camera block. works out pretty well, and it's pretty customizable. Just don't do anything crazy like hucing huge cliffs and you should be fine.

a backpack works well also
