All,

We're starting to sense the onset of snow in the Cascades, and as a refugee from Texas I am a newbie to snow photography, at least with the 4x5.

My questions are mainly concerning travel, set-up, and other tips to get me out there. Any of your advice will be welcome...

Snowshoe vs. XC-Ski ?

Setting up a tripod in a snowbank when the legs will punch through?

Exposure issues?

Focusing in a hood that frosts up?

Any other tips?
