I've been skiing the Welsh hills and mountains for a few years now, but it always feels good to put the skis on and make a descent after a long hike carrying everything. It feels especially good skiing my local hills in Pembrokeshire, which don't get skiable snow very often.
Unfortunately the snow in Wales is very transient, so we could get a big fall one day and it's gone the next. So I could never say come to Wales instead of the Alps' because skiing in Wales is a very spontaneous thing and it's something that requires a pinch of salt. There are days where you forget where you are. The best skiing I've had in Wales has been comparable to some of the stuff I've done off-piste in the Alps. You can't really compare piste - because we don't have any. But there's been days where the snow is knee deep and powdery and that's provided great some skiing - even if it's just a few turns.
