Wherever snow lands
Typically the best bet for snow is the Central Beacons Massif, but not very friendly xcountry terrain

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

The law is not clear in England and Wales and even the statutory and governing bodies for access and snowsports do not seem to know the answer definitively! It isn’t mentioned in the 2001 CROW Act and may not yet have been challenged ?
The assumption seems to be that skiing (which includes snowboarding, telemark cross country and AT) is a form of access on foot and therefore legal without the landowners permission.
Ordnance survey maps show areas of open access land (as well as rights of way) and those will probably cover most of the Beacons above the fell wall.

Technically are you on the ground when travelling on the snow!? 
You could travel from Hay Bluff towards Crickhowell over Waun Fach, as mentioned an OS map will show you footpaths and bridleways which should provide sufficient terrain to keep you busy in the time allowed by snow cover, which is rarely more than a few days. Unless you don't mind about your ski bases.

The footpaths can remain quite smooth along the windblown hill tops if your lucky.
