Nothing in this part of Gwynedd, plenty of snow on the mountains though. Hope it stays up there!

re: snow in wales

managed to get a few rides up the Brecon last fri (18th), had to hunt around for a half decent slope but was good fun, except the walking up part!

re: snow in wales

Jazzy, have you walked up Pen-y-fan? it's a hike but if snow is good a fantastic ride back.

re: snow in wales

hi niki, tried just after Christmas but wasn't too good that time. is it the walk where u go over a bridge at the start? usually come up from cardiff and not sure of the area to be honest, usually find a good farmers field!

re: snow in wales

Yeah, coming from Cardiff on A470 park on the right after the reservoirs where it says toilets before the actual Story Arms layby/outward bound center, you walk up the main track well signed to Pen-y-fan, over the bridge on the little river. Or drive on another couple of hundred meters and go over the other side of the road at the Story Arms layby, a couple of good runs above where all the kids do sledging. Google maps A470 Brecon Powys LD3 Very Happy
