ski run
Mountain slope trail
A ski run is a marked trail or slope for skiing at a resort, cleared of obstacles and graded by difficulty—green for beginners, blue for intermediate, black for advanced.
Runs have names and appear on trail maps: We did the same ski run three times before lunch.
Also called a piste in European resorts.
