Fernando Alonso arrives by helicopter at Ferrari's traditional pre-season ski event in Madonna di Campiglio in the Dolomites, the first time the double world champion has appeared in official Ferrari clothing
Alonso's new team-mate Felipe Massa is also on hand, as he prepares for his return to F1 after recovering from the fractured skull he suffered at July's Hungarian Grand Prix
Alonso checks out the photos of previous events after stepping inside to meet the media and talk about his expectations for his first season at Ferrari
The event, dubbed Wroom, is a joint one for Ferrari and Ducati's MotoGP team, whose riders Nicky Hayden and Casey Stoner pose with the Ferrari F1 stars
Ferrari take their drivers to Madonna as part of the pre-season media build-up - and the Italian journalists make the most of their opportunity to speak to the stars
There has been much speculation about how Alonso and Massa will get on - they do their best to look chummy in a photoshoot before they head off for some skiing
Massa, Fisichella and Alonso take to the slopes, doing something unclear with ropes, and already Alonso has a slight lead over his team-mates
The drivers head off down a mountain and it's that man Alonso in the lead again, in front of test and reserve driver Fisichella, with Massa bringing up the rear
Later that evening, Alonso holds a torch prior to the start of the torchlight downhill night ski
F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone is a regular attender of the Madonna event - and it has become the 79-year-old's habit to pose looking uncomfortable on a Ducati MotoGP bike
Alonso looks considerably more at home as he obliges the photographers on the same machine, prior to chatting with Ecclestone about the state of play in F1
Ecclestone also takes time to talk to Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali, who is guarded in his views of Ferrari's prospects for 2010
