  For a high-quality, manual, small camera, I would recommend either
a Leica/Minolta CL with a 40mm lens, or an Olympus Pen FT with a
38mm lens.  The former is a full-frame, coupled-rangefinder camera.
The latter is a half-frame SLR.  Both cameras have match-needle
light-meters, and both take interchangeable lenses.  They are
available second-hand for a couple of hundred dollars.  They date
from the early 70's, I believe.  I don't know that I'd take either
of them skiing, though, as they have small controls.
