Hi All,

We are going to Big Bear this weekend and I haven't seen snow in years. I want to shoot a lot of pictures but I don't know what to expect.

Unfortunately my ignorance is broad. I'd like to hike and take pictures of course.

Should I take my tripod and 70-200 or am I asking for trouble since it's too heavy and I'll slip and fall on the snow?

Should I use an ND filter to control the white bright snow, is my polarizer good enough, or maybe I don't need it at all?

I'll appreciate any advice on shooting or hiking in those conditions and anything about Big Bear.

THANKS!

I would've put this in the Travel Forum if PR had one
