fresh tracks
Untracked snow awaiting
Fresh tracks are marks left recently in snow, mud, or soft ground—whether by animals, vehicles, or people.
Hunters and trackers look for fresh tracks to follow prey: The fresh tracks in the snow meant the deer passed through minutes ago.
In skiing and snowboarding, fresh tracks means being first to carve through untouched powder after a snowfall—a prized experience: We got up early to hit fresh tracks before the slopes got crowded.
