Pelt across right bend in piste (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ski run

'piste' is the definition.
(a piste is a type of ski run)

'pelt across right bend' is the wordplay.
'pelt' becomes 'skin' (synonyms).
'across' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'bend' becomes 'U' (a U-bend is a kind of bend - pipe under sink).
'r'+'u'='ru'
'skin' going around 'ru' is 'SKI RUN'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for ski run that I've seen before include "Winter sports slope" , "Recreational snow slope" , "Piste" , "cold course" , "Snow-covered slope" .)
