Took some time out of my evening of beer-league racing to get some shots of my teammates and a few others just for grins. Not terrible for just winging it with a single speedlight and an ST-E2.

An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.

They make filters to correct and filters to re-produce.

Both. I believe 1st or 2nd curtain can be selected regardless of exposure mode.

And rear curtain would help freeze the action better?

No, it would blur the trailing edge of the skier, instead of the leading edge as seen above, especially in image 2. The flash only fires for a split second, brightly illuminating the subject very briefly. Imagine a long shutter speed of like 1 second. If the flash fires near the end of that 1 second, right before the shutter closes (the 2nd curtain), the flash will create a relatively frozen subject at the end of the exposure. The resulting picture will show the 1-second long trail of the subject, streaming out behind the final image of the subject frozen by the flash.
