thumb|A piste in Serfaus, Austria thumb|Pistes on Bald Mountain (Idaho)|Bald Mountain, Idaho A piste () is a marked trail or path down a mountain for snow skiing, snowboarding, or other mountain sports.

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