Garmin Virb (non elite) - What setting for skiing?

Because my skiing holiday is yet to come, I wanted to ask, what have you used for settings? The camera is mounted at the ski helmet.

I have

Large HD 1280x960 48fps 4:3

being considered.

Experiences / opinions on this?

One more question: the virb is specified down to -15 °C. Have you had problems at temperatures > -15°C with the virb / battery life?
