Great read, thanks for sharing. Can't wait to hit up the snow soon - unfortunately not in Montana though...

Oh and yeah buy used if you know your stuff - I buy essentially all my Nikon gear second hand and none has let me down so far.

The Nikon AW1 is impressive for sure: near DSLR image quality and it's light and small and you can shoot from the water which is fantastic if you want to shoot someone jumping right over you etc. But if you already have a 3200 I'd probably just go get a Nikkor 70-300VR or the Tamron 70-300VC that wa...

Thanks for the warning, appreciated! I'm however only traveling with a normal suitcase and either a golfbag or a second suitcase (for the kites if I decide not to bring my own TT but rent instead). Also it's already booked it was significantly cheaper, even adding in cab fares etc.
