Rest during ski practice (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kip

'rest' is the definition.
(kipping is a kind of resting)

'during ski practice' is the wordplay.
'during' indicates a hidden word.
'KIP' is hidden in the letters of 'ski practice'.

(Other definitions for kip that I've seen before include "Sleep (sl.)" , "Slumber" , "Short sleep" , "Snooze" , "Sleep, nap (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
