snow trails

Ski slope routes

Snow trails are paths or routes through snow-covered terrain, typically made by skiers, snowshoers, or snowmobiles.

The term may refer to groomed recreational paths at ski resorts or backcountry routes marked for winter travel: We followed the snow trails through the woods.

Unlike summer hiking trails, snow trails often require regular maintenance as fresh snowfall covers them.
