This is an image of a downhill skier I attempted the other day.  It's 
probably not top-quality...far from it...but I would like to know if it
even *looks* likae a downhill skier, for 1 thing, and if it does, if I 
should change anything on it.  Especially the hill, since I couldn't 
think of a symbol that would represent snow.

Btw, I am mostly blind, so my view of a downhill skier may be a bit skewed.
But I'm intrigued by ascii graphics and wanted to at aleast try to accomplish
something.

I like it. And it does look like a downhill skier - a
scared one. I have added a little diddle with your
skier leaning forward:
