Snowdon

My dogs love the snow, but living in the SE they rarely see any. I saw a rental cottage advertised in N Wales, near Snowdon, where it says there will be snow. I guess my questions are, what's the likelihood of there being snow in Dec/Jan, and are there places you can get to where you can into the snow and where the dogs can have a run around without risking disappearing off a 1000ft drop? I've been up Snowdon before but not for 30-odd years now (I MTBd up and back down again, we tried a few routes before setting on the one which follows the railway up).

Cool, thanks, I'll look that up.

Thanks all.

@wacky_racer, when we cycled up there years ago, the first day we encountered serious mist. My recollection (may be incorrect!) is that there's a point where the railway crosses over the top of the track and as we got to that point we encountered a complete white-out. My friend was a little crazier than me and wanted to press on but I said no. When we went back up in clear conditions the next day, we were not very far at all from a massive drop.

I ski a lot so I'm familiar with being in the mountains and always show them plenty of respect.

Thanks for the tips, all sounds good.
