Sorry dude..it's real, at least based in reality..photoshop or no.  Tonight on National News yet, I think it was one of the majors CNN etc..It had a clip of Kerry skiing ( he is now on a ski jaunt somewhere),and the boy can really ski..trust me, I'm an advanced skier myself, and he really has a very good style.   So if the snowboarding thing's a fake, the skiing certainly isn't.  The guy ROCKS, period.
