Skiroute

German to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation Alpine Skiing
Aus einer Winterbroschure:

In XXX erschließen 25 Liftanlagen insgesamt 80 km Pisten. Darüber hinaus findet man hier auch 12 km Skirouten sowie eine Vielzahl an unberührten Tief- und Firnschneehänge.

Wikipedia:
Eine Skiroute ist eine markierte und kontrollierte, aber nicht präparierte Skipiste.

Auf Skirouten kann in der Regel ohne die Gefährdung durch Lawinen und ohne die Gefährdung der Natur im Tiefschnee Ski gefahren werden. Andere Skirouten sind Buckelpisten. Skirouten zeichnen sich neben der fehlenden Präparierung meistens durch eine anspruchsvolle Streckenführung aus.

Thanks to you all for your help but I will stick to an answer found in Wikipedia:
In recent years, many resorts reclassified some black slopes to yellow slopes. This signifies a skiroute, an ungroomed and unpatrolled slope which is actually off-piste skiing in a marked area. Famous examples are the Stockhorn area in Zermatt and the Tortin slopes in Verbier. In Austria, skiroutes are usually marked with orange squares instead.

@ Angelika .. I still think it's ok to say "ski path" as "ski route" tends to mean airline connections :)

@ David: A Skiroute has to do with Alpine skiing, not with Nordic skiing.

@ Edith: skiing route scheint sich meiner Meinung nach eher auf Langlaufen als auf Skifahren zu beziehen, oder?

Proposed translations

skiing route

having looked at your reference and google, that seems to be it though both the English and German expressions are slightly strange

Als Skifahrerin sagt mit Skirouten auch nicht viel ... ich würde da eher auf Skitouren im Deutschen tippen, aber warte mal, da können andere bessere Ideen habe als wir beide.

I would tend towards "path"

"tracks" are generally what you leave so ...

I've been up and (thankfully) down a few mountains in my time and the truth is I don't know exactly how to render "Skiroute" so I agree with Edith that we should wait and see if someone can provide some light on this (very interesting) one :)
