I gave this an 8. I think it's a great illusion.

Good idea! A change in crop/angle so the snow looks continuous may help and the shrot DOF is a little bit of a distraction.

Lacks focus and the angle, coupled with the noise makes it difficult to ascertain what's really going on. Perhaps lowering the camera to a better perspective would help.

I like your concept and the angle. For me, I wish more of the skier's head were in focus and perhaps a bit less grainy overall.
