beginner trails

Easy paths first

Beginner trails are paths or slopes designed for those new to an activity—typically skiing, mountain biking, or hiking.

At ski resorts, they're marked with green circles and feature gentle grades.

The term extends to any route with minimal difficulty: We stuck to the beginner trails while learning.
