Angus,
This camera is terrific, but there are others out there. The Nikon D40x is one of the best values out there right now. It is a great entry level dSLR that works with some great lenses. If you're looking for a favorite by professionals and your budget isn't that much of a question, you might try the Canon 40D with advanced light metering and custom settings that you might like for winter sports photography.
In any case, lenses and filters are going to be key for the specific photography you are looking for. I would get a polarized filter to reduce glare. To avoid blue hues in your photos (often seen from glare on snow), I would get an 85B filter to adjust the light accordingly. As for lenses, I would invest in a good 70-300mm lens. Since you can't get up close and personal with the athletes, the greater magnification will help you fill the frame better.
I hope this helps.
