Piste - online puzzles

A piste (IPA: ) is a marked ski run or path down a mountain for snow skiing, snowboarding, or other mountain sports.

This European term is French (" trail ", "track") and synonymous with ' trail ', ' slope ', or 'groomed run' in North America. The word is pronounced using a long "e" sound (e.g. rhymes with "beast").

Increasingly, North Americans employ its common European antonym, 'off piste', to describe backcountry skiing, especially when referring to skiing outside officially approved areas of a ski resort.
