Clearly, he'd fund his trip on credit, preferably at a horrible rate of interest and at resorts like Davos. He would do this for a number of years and then boast of his 'prudence' in doing as such. Such a skier would be smug, assured and uber-confident.
Then, one day, the easy green he'd been carving down would turn into a horrible mogul pitch, completely unforseen by himself, yet clearly marked and understood by those in the know. Now his trips are rather 'shaker' in style, though he'd never admit to this being a 'cut' and the piste is now somewhat rockier than he would like.
He's still assured and confident and, dare I say, this skier is heading for a 'crash'.
If Gordon Brown were a skier, what sort of skier would he be?

He would buy his skies at top dollar and then sell them once their value was rock bottom. Then he would probably post a video of himself smiling on youtube with a snowboard in hand so he can be down with the young kids. He would go skiing in Scotland so he is not like that terrible Blair fellow that would stay in some celebs shak in Val Dizzle or Klosters.

He'd be a fantastic skier in the bar, but don't let him near the piste.

He'd push and push until he got to be a ski club rep or instructor and once he got the badge he'd get his group of clients in trouble offpiste.

He would be a paid shill for American resorts. He would be seen smiling awkwardly at Bush family gatherings in Aspen, failing spectactularly to interact with people like a normal human being. He would have no casual clothes . He would go skiing in his suit and only have a change for the skiing itself. He would be a 'survival skier'. You would not actually see him on the slopes. Aides would circulate stories of what a great sportsmen he is/was. Lost an eye in a sports injury, everybody loves him etc.
He would tell people that under his stewardship everybody can afford to go skiing, whereas under the Tories hop picking was most people's only break from daily drudgery.
As soon as the pound tumbled he would say he was a son of the manse and never agreed with excessive spending on holidays like the Tories. He is a true socialist and member of the YHA etc. He only skis in Scotland. Solidarity with the locals and support for their economy. Low carbon footprint.

OMG, he'd be an après bore: he'd tell everyone he'd skied 38 billion kilometres of piste since 1997, with which was three times more than John Major and Margaret Thatcher had achieved in 18 years. Then he'd announce (for the third time in a week) his plan for a billion kilometres of additional skiing in 2009/10 (targeted at the most vulnerable resorts - that's a tough choice, but it's the right thing to do), with increases of 5% per year throughout the next parliament... no, let me finish ... the Tories would slash skiing ...

He would allows leaks to the press that they were going to abolish skiing before watering it down and saying we were still allowed to go to Borovets. And we'd be so grateful that we could at least go skiing somewhere.

Problem is potential hypothermia standing around. Firstly, the decision on which lift to take up could take absolutely ages and may require a push from Black Rod. After arriving at the top, there is the choice of colours down. Rod suggests black and this sounds good but difficult. Red is definitely a no no in the current climate and blue is a bit Tory. Green sounds good but may be regarded as a bit timid for a strong leader and who really wants to join the Greens.
Meantime a welcome whiteout descends and it is impossible to make a decision without a compass (moral?).
At the end of it all he goes unwaveringly for Snow Nicely Pisted = SNP!!!
Roll on Glasgow East By-election.

Before Brown lost sight in one eye he was a sporting prodigy. Once he quits government and moves to La grave permanently don't be suprised to see him sail past you on the skin up and huck a bigger cliff than you on the way down. And his snowpack evaluation should be second to none so you can happily follow in his tracks

He would proudly announce that he and he alone had put an end to freeze and thaw, and that from now on the snow would always be in perfect condition. He would then wake up next morning to green fields and boulders.

He'd hang around the bar looking dolefully at his "mate" who was all chat but ego clearly exceeding ability, nursing a demi all evening to be careful with his cash. Then he'd finally get out of the slope, say great I've got this to myself and plummet into a crevasse.

I recon within an hour or two he would sport a black eye or two from the brits who are paying £7 a pint because of his incompetence.

I am with Mike G on this. When the snow melted he would claim it was due to bankers driving their cars recklessly. About now he is showing us pictures of snow falling at the top of the Vallee Blanche and is saying that his enviromental policy has saved the world.

He would claim the snow melting was down to the previous owners of the resort - 18 years of underinvestment in snow machines.
He would also say that his resort was best placed to open, that it would come out of summer and into winter first and it would be a deeper winter under his management. That it had the highest altitude and the longest uninterupted kms of vertical since records began. No more return to flat terrain.

Gordon Brown wouldn't be a skier. It is classed as "fun" and so not relevant to the miserable old waste of space.

Brown's spokesman said he did not watch Question Time due to 'pressures on his time'.
However, he apparently sends letters to X Factor contestants :-
'Sarah and I always try to watch X Factor -it's a big hit in our family. We were sorry to see your X Factor journey come to an end and wish you well for the future'' ( Source 'Private Eye')
From one loser to another I suppose.
