If you can't figure that out, you shouldn't own Photoshop. I suggest MS Paint.

 
start with a pic that is on one extreme, ie. the one on the far right or far left. make the pallette a lot bigger than the actual pic, mostly wider so you can have room to add pics. keep it open, and open the next pic in sequence. copy and paste or drag the layer into the first pic window. over lap them to where things line up. the easiest way to do that is to turn the opacity of the second pic to like 30% so you can see the background at the same time. anyway, over lap them as much as possible with out overlapping the image of you. once you have the overlapping finished, you can use the erase tool and erase the over lapped part. dont erase all of it. once you are finished with that, turn the opacity back to 100%. then it looks like one pic. just do this for every pic you have. always transferring the next pic into the original one you started with. if your camera was stationary this will be easy. when you are all done, flatten the image, cuz you will have several layers.

Haha, sorry dude, I take it back. For some reason there I just thought you meant making a collage of images.

What the guy said above is pretty much dead-on. When you're taking the pictures, don't pan the camera and it's pretty easy. Pick one image for the background then line up each frame on its own layer by setting the opacity down. Then mask everything in each frame except the skier using a layer mask - a lot easier than just deleting stuff like the guy above said.

 
yes, layer masks are the way to go, but they can be confusing if you have never done it...
