à utiliser sur la domaine skiable

Explanation:
This is not necessarily "on piste". The ski area includes the pistes, but also some off-piste areas that are approved and under surveillance by moniteurs and that might be used for other activities, e.g. snowshoeing, sledding.

http://www.answers.com/topic/off-piste
"Backcountry can include the following:[1]
Frontcountry: off-trail within ski area boundaries where ski lifts and emergency services are close at hand.
Slackcountry: terrain outside of the ski area boundary that is accessed from a lift without having to use skins or bootpack. Usually this also bears true with access getting back to the lift as well. For purists, this could also include areas like Beartooth Pass where people ski from switchback to switchback and use a car as a shuttle.
Sidecountry: terrain outside marked ski area boundaries yet accessible via ski lift. Typically sidecountry requires the skier to hike, skin, or climb within ski area boundaries to reach or return from the sidecountry area, or both."

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domaine_skiable
"En France, la notion de domaine skiable de station de ski alpin englobe toutes les zones accessibles à ski gravitairement depuis des remontées mécaniques, en comprenant ainsi de nombreux secteurs dits hors-pistes. La sécurité et les secours y sont assurés par les pisteurs-secouristes7 ; par exception, les secours y sont payants."
