Pancake lens is the thinniest AF lens available(well, soon they say). It's a standard lens, meaning it has fixed focal length, no zooming.
Snowboarding, you say..
Pentax has the slowest AF from the bunch (slightly), which might be bad for sports. On the other hand, it's pocket-size and does not blow out skies thanks to its wide tonal range:
I think with a Canon 10D you'd have either a white sky or a blue sky and everything else black. Not sure about how 20D would handle this.
Remember that a camera body is just the beginning. Lenses are a headache and an expensive addiction. Once you try a Canon L (pro) lens, you're lost. They're fast, quiet, outstanding quality, environmentaly sealed and all..
As for kit lenses, Nikon 18-70 seems a good choice.
Canon's 18-55 is quite poor quality, and 17-85 IS is supposed to be terrible for its high price. Remember that a 'poor quality' dslr lens is much better than any compact camera's.
Just go to the store and decide which one fits you hands better, which shutter sounds more appealing to your ear. The most important thing is that you feel the camera is designed for you. You can take great pictures with any of those cams.
