groomed trail
Smoothed skiing route
A groomed trail is a path prepared for recreational use, typically by compacting and smoothing snow for skiing or snowshoeing.
Grooming machines flatten moguls, fill ruts, and create consistent surfaces.
The term extends to maintained hiking or biking paths: The resort offers fifty miles of groomed trails.
Contrast with backcountry or ungroomed terrain.
