Hey guys... So I'm getting my first DSLR to begin shooting HD video in the snow this winter... and I'm wondering if you have any recommendations on a good first choice for a lens. The video will all be of skiing and snowboarding... hopefully in a lot of sunny conditions.

I am new to SLR camera's in general and am not interested in breaking the bank. Just want to shoot some good video. I'm about to pull the trigger on a Nikon D3100 and want a lens to make the most of it. I realize this isn't a simple question... and there are a ton of options. I'm just looking for some advice on a first step. I don't need to shoot from across a glacier in AK either... What would you guys use if you were shooting in trees outside JHMR for example? That might be a good starting point.

Thanks and Cheers!
