Got back into skiing last year after about 10 years away. Saw a few videos/photos of people skiing/boarding the Beacons, so decided to give it a go. Obviously, it's not the Alps, but if you can just drop everything and go at a few hours notice, you can easily get 10 fun days sliding on Pen y Fan in a season. (I've just had 3 in April). It's very grassy as well so you don't need a lot of snow to make it work! Cefn Crew slopes next to the Pont a Daf path are good for newcomers but there's plenty of steeper stuff around the two summits. Loads of fun if you don't mind walking!
