no problems.. I hope this is the picture you´ve lightened...
just use photoshop..
duplicate layer - add layer mask /hide all - erase until only the skier is visible then add adjustment layer/curves - play arount with the curve until the skier is bright and looks right, then flatten the image and you have a bright skier without brightening the snow :)
sounds difficult but is really simple :) |

| Use a fill flash, you are shooting with strong backlight. The snow wasn't enough to fill the shadows. Or you could expose for the skiier and add the say back i photoshop. |

much like DanSig's suggestion - duplicate the layer, adjust the top layer based on how you want the skier to look - use brightness/contrast and sharpen. Move the adjusted layer below the original. Start erasing the skier in the original to reveal the skier.
This one took about five minutes. Could be better with the original image:
