Anyone know which skier was traced into an outline from a photo to become the clipart free-skier that you see literally everywhere?

If I had to guess I'd say Johnny Mosely but I have no evidence to base that on.

You know I was going to respond this as well since he brought this trick to the mass audience but after looking at photos of Jonny Moseley doing mute graps the style is way off. The dude had them pretty proper and the clip art is pretty on the toe piece of the binding.

candide on chad's is what came to mind. it's not quite the same but close, so maybe a little artistic license was used and/or they used a frame or two earlier or later. not sure though, i'm not sure it's the source at all

Is this what is actually happening in every X Games? An elaborate green screen and paid crowd?

Word on the street is the X-games is not real and they use it to lure kids in and harvest their adrenaline to keep celebrities alive. X-gate.

I would bet it’s some Canadian theory 3 Skier from way back. Whistler was kind of the epicenter of NS for a lot of years.
