I usually keep the camera in the bag long enough for the temperature to
equalize. If I don't have a bag I wrap a wool scarf around it (or anything
else made from wool). Wool slowes down the temperature change in the air
surrounding the camera and absorbes some of the humidity, so after a few
minutes I can take it out without risking any condensation.
Some people put the camera in tight plastic bags, but I dont like the idea of
having som humidity close into the bag along with the camera.

Something nobody has mentioned yet is condensation.
I once spent an entertaining 20 minutes wiping condensation from an expensive
set of kit, after going from about -20(C) to about +25.
Repeated exposure to the problem may result in unanticipated expense.

I took the LX and a M40 skiing one year. Must have been going hard
because the screen retainer dropped down one day, and I had to wait to
get back to the lodge before fixing it (luckily we were on the slopes
that year). I took a zip-lock plastic bag along. The air outside is
fairly dry so there wasn't any condensation in the bag.
After that year, I took the little Ricoh R1 or GR1s.
