Does this suggest I step on virgin snow? (3-5)
I believe the answer is:
off-piste
'on virgin snow?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'does this suggest i step' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'i' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'step' is 'pste' which is located in the remaining letters.
The remaining letters 'off' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for off-piste that I've seen before include "Away from the regular runs in skiing" , "Away from prepared ski runs" , "On unauthorised ski slope" .)
