Snow and Flat Light, hot to shoot?

In Aspen for X-Games, overcast, lightly snowing and flat light. What settings and filters are recommended. I've got diagonal lines where white should be. Total neophyte, first post, waiting for the book to arrive, any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, Gavin
 
Re: Snow and Flat Light, hot to shoot?

The diagonal lines are probably the zebra stripe. It tells you what part of the shot is overexposed. I would think in those conditions you would get a lot of use out of the camera's ND filter. A polarizer might help as well. You can also experiment with your iris settings to kepp from overexposing.

In-camera ND--definitely necessary. If you can pick up a polarizer you will get rid of glare/reflection and possibly help get some more color out of your shots (esp. the sky). Since it doesn't seem likely you'll have a polarizer, definitely experiment with the ND filter switch, and don't be afraid to put it on auto exposure if you're having problems.
