Snowshoe trails: tagging of route relations with route=piste

Hello!

I assembled a couple of snowshoe trails:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1180705
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1180278
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1183548

As far as I understand, snowshoe trails are to be tagged with piste:type=hike and piste:grooming=backcountry. But since my snowshoe trails consist mostly of segments of various paths, tracks and roads, I assembled them by adding the segments to route relations, and now I am wondering if I should use route=hiking or route=ski for tagging the route relations. Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks,
littleboy

I would propose neither using route=hiking nore route=skiing

what about just inventing a new name ? route=snowshoes_trail ?

I propose to use route=piste for tagging a route relation that describes a piste with any piste:type.
