Person who could use a lift (5)
I believe the answer is:
skier
'person who could use a lift' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for skier that I've seen before include "Sport exponent" , "One up mountain, perhaps" , "He glides over snow, perhaps in sport" , "He glides across snow for fun" , "he's possibly going downhill quickly" .)
