'we look to after winter' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'dorset resorts fine breaks' is the wordplay.
'resorts' is an anagram indicator.
'fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'breaks' indicates putting letters inside.
'dorset' is an anagram of 'derost'.
'derost' placed around 'f' is 'DEFROST'.
