snowsport photography support

hey,
basically I'm going snowboarding in january does anyone have any advice for keeping my camera safe and in good working order whilst I'm on the pistes? I own a d3100.
thanks

Wrap the camera in a large, clean, soft, towel.
Place the towel-wrapped camera in to a sealed plastic bag.
Place the sealed plastic bagged, towel-wrapped, camera in the bottom drawer of your motel room.

I'm pretty sure that should work.

I shot a lot of winter sports a couple of years ago with a non weather sealed body and had no problems other then at below 10 degrees where I would get a false battery dead reading. I would just swap out batteries to a warm one from my pocket and would be good for another half hour or so. My photo pack was a Lowe with the weather sealed zippers. Also, beware that if your camera is out long enough to get below 32 degrees and you then take it into the lodge, all of your glass including the sensor is going to fog, and you will have to wait awhile for that to go away (like an hour or so). I didn't have any damage from cold and unless it is raining or very wet snow I wouldn't worry about that.Have fun.
