Athlete potentially seen on snow or water (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skier

(Other definitions for skier that I've seen before include "Mountain racer" , "needs catching on way down" , "Winter sports athlete" , "He glides across snow for fun" , "he's possibly going downhill quickly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
