Chris Morris descends again in Wales He said: “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. “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.” Next on his bucket list is Wales’ tallest mountain, Yr Wyddfa, also known as Snowdon with the ‘Welsh ski season’ running from November to May. But there is a thriving little skiing ‘cult’ in Wales - so it’s not unusual to see maybe a dozen skiers and snowboarders on Pen y Fan after a good snowfall.” Les Trois Vallées it is not but Mr Morris is highlighting there are plenty of good valleys closer to home.
