Briefly omit run in Alps? (3)
I believe the answer is:
ski
'run in alps?' is the definition.
'ski' can be an answer for 'run' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'in alps?' bit.
'briefly omit' is the wordplay.
'briefly' means to remove the last letter.
'omit' becomes 'skip' (skipping is a kind of omiting).
'skip' with its final letter taken away is 'SKI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ski that I've seen before include "Take part in a winter sport" , "Go on snow runners" , "Winter-sports item" , "Glide on snow with special footwear" , "go uphill? Probably not!" .)
