    I'd look for a battery system unless you have power available, Adorama and B&H a lot of setups available.

    Not sure how they would react to snow, most have cooling fans, that may be an issue. Your best bet, depending on what camera and lens your using may be to use the new version 580EX and use three or 4 as needed, although 2 should light up the scene very well, mount them on stands and fire with PW's or similar. I have seen this done for both snowboarding and skiing at night and it seems to work well with a lot less invested. They throw more light than you'd expect.
