Upset Irish winter sportsman? That's more dangerous (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

riskier

'more dangerous' is the definition.
('risky' can be similar in meaning to 'dangerous')

'upset irish winter sportsman?' is the wordplay.
'upset' is a reversal indicator.
'irish' becomes 'ir' (abbreviation).
'winter sportsman?' becomes 'skier' (I've seen this before).
'ir' reversed gives 'ri'.
'ri'+'skier'='RISKIER'

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for riskier that I've seen before include "less safe" , "More likely to cause loss" , "More chancy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
