Okay, I'll take on the challenge. Each year I head to Zermatt for a ski holiday. The IWC's that make the trip with me over time have been my 3327, AT200, and my BP 5002. All have been in the elements, but I have to say the 3227 is almost always the one on my wrist while skiing. It is one tough watch able to take the bumps better than me.
First take a look at the scenery in Zermatt. This is the ride up to the Klein Matterhorn. Yes, I do ski down from there, but the runs are on a glacier on the back side of this view.
The 3227 is my mainstay as I noted:
The AT 2000 make the trip a couple of times too...
It also is with me for a wee snack after skiing...have to love Swiss Raclette.
One day, at the bottom of a lift, this IWC AT ad caught my eye.
Lastly, my 5002 is in the snow albeit for a gentle walk through the woods, not for skiing down the slopes.
So, snow and IWC's go together quite nicely for me.
Coming back to work in Africa I was received by the harsh rain season at its worse... So, unfortunately here no beautiful clean photos of IWCs in snow, but I'll share with you a bit of flooding and mud.
The AT Chrono proved an adequate choice to go around...!
Fortunately things are much better today.
Cheers!

It is so happy to be close to its natural habitat that it even sparkles :-)
