Panes smashed at ski resort (5)
I believe the answer is:
aspen
'ski resort' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'panes smashed' is the wordplay.
'smashed' indicates an anagram.
'panes' with letters rearranged gives 'ASPEN'.
'at' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for aspen that I've seen before include "ski resort in America?" , "Tree with shivering leaves" , "Growth" , "Type of poplar" , "city in Colorado" .)
