Yes, but the helmet size looks correct.

David Goldsmith, are you a bit of a Photoshop whizz?

Looks like Wet Dendix to me. Don't know what he's skiing on though.

David Goldsmith, can I put in a request for buffy the vampire slayer in the buff, or a bikini if you have to?

slikedges, you have to ask Alan Craggs for that one, she was kind enough to advertise his Spyder jacket for him last year

David Goldsmith, sexxyyy!  actually looks a bit like Richard the Lion Heart in the first Crusaders versus Saracens skier-cross.

Dare I start on about how the camera overestimates the angle of that slope ?

rob@rar.org.uk raised the issue of photoshopping. The images are actually from this BBC Online slideshow from Hereford and Worcestershire (which should give us a clue as to which slope is involved).
They're described as "Fancy dress skiing for charity".
But was any fancy dress actually involved? The core images, ignoring the costumes, do look remarkably similar - look at the pole positions. Would any expert care to comment?

Look at the Beefeater in particular - clearly a cut and paste about as realistic as South Park.

As a competant photoshop manipulator and keen photographer and skier I have just one word to say on those images
FAKE
I'd be willing to put the entire Eurotunnel debt on that

I wonder if the BBC care? Maybe I'll send an email to them for a comment. It would be moderately interesting to know who the skier was, and what this was all about.
I mean - was there any charity involved, for a start? !

Through a little bit of image detective work I have discovered that this was skier 47 in one of the OPPDAL Celtic Cup ski races

Different. The skier is Stuart Robertson of Western Counties Ski Club. I will ask him what charity he would like a donation to from us lot, as he's given us some laughs.

I've decided not to contact the BBC as they'd probably pull this farce off the site if they know they'd been duped.
Jane L, any chance of recruiting Stuart Robertson to the snowHeads community? I think he could take Milton Keynes snowdome by storm!

You mean he wasn't asked to sign a model release form before his image was posted and manipulated! DG, tut tut

I've printed this thread for him and will write on the url, in case he fancies a look. I will be racing against him on Saturday (somehow he beats me by quite a margin) and my eldest will be racing against him on Sunday (this time the margin is much less).
Note the trousers - his trademark - you can see them behind the moon suit. There's a flashy orange pair to complement these as well.
