Various factors are decisive for this. The snow must be resistant and have good grip, not too hard and not too icy. In addition, the ski slope should not have any snow bulbs, the surface must be flat. However, there are extreme differences in what is perceived as a "good piste". On public or racing slopes, the requirements are totally different.
