English term or phrase: Flatlander
"Six months after his eightieth birthday, Harold went skiing for a week in Utah [...]. He says the core strengthening he'd been doing with June helped his stamina [...] He was able to ski nonstop from the top of Alta, at 10,550 feet, to the bottom - a descent of about 2,000 feet in elevation that would be difficult for any flatlander."

Obrigada desde já.
Cristina Paixão Lopes
qualquer pessoa não acostumada com estas altitudes
Explanation:
Considerando que a definição de flatlander é "A pejorative term for a person who lives at lower altitude, used by those living at higher altitudes;" acho que esta é a melhor opção.
