Last December I dropped a Canon Powershot A620 camera in the snow on a favorite backcountry ski run. We searched but it stayed lost. Today I found the little Canon, sitting on the snow it had melted out of at about 10,000 feet on the side of a Colorado mountain.
Six months later, it works flawlessly.
Yep, we test gear here at WildSnow.com. On purpose or by mistake — it gets done! As for the A620, indeed, highly recommended. Problem is, now we have two. Oh well, there’s always Ebay…
