Eric and All, It's pretty hard to beat Pelican cases, although they can be a bit pricey. At Pacificon a couple of years back, I picked up a Pelican 1040 case for my KX1. There was a vendor there with pretty decent prices comparatively. The KX1 fits nicely inside a 1040 case, but there's not much room to spare. You might want a slightly larger case if you plan to carry extra things inside.
For skiing, this could be a nearly ideal case. They don't advertise it as being "submersible", but it's pretty water tight, so being in a lot of snow might make this a good choice. Check the Pelican website, and you will see all sorts of options. As an alternative, you might snoop around outlet stores like Big Lots. I've seen lots of toolkits that come in cases that just might work, and that would be a cheap alternative if you find one the right size. It won't be nearly as sturdy as the Pelican cases, but it might be adequate. I've got an old toolkit box (plastic) I use on occasion for my KX1 because it's somewhat bigger, and I can put extra stuff in it. I think this was originally a case for a socket and driver set.
