Overpass turbo: “runtime error: Filters too weak in query statement”

I'm trying to count how many pistes are there in a given country:

//[out:csv(::count, ::"count:nodes", ::"count:ways", ::"count:relations", ::"count:areas")];
area["ISO3166-1"="EE"];
(
  way(area)["piste:type"];
  node(area)["piste:type"];
  area(area)["piste:type"];
  relation(area)["piste:type"];
);
out;// count;

(link) When I run this commented one, I get an error:

runtime error: Filters too weak in query statement: specify in addition a bbox, a tag filter, or similar.

When I uncomment the rest, I get just the count of ways or whatever is the first statement in parenthesis.

How to do this correctly?

The area needs to be stored ina variable & passed to each way type:

[out:csv(::count,::"count:nodes",::"count:ways",::"count:relations")];
area["ISO3166-1"="EE"]->.a;
(
  way(area.a)["piste:type"];
  node(area.a)["piste:type"];
  relation(area.a)["piste:type"];
);
out count;

However, it's much easier to amalgamate them to nwr:

[out:csv(::count,::"count:nodes",::"count:ways",::"count:relations")];
area["ISO3166-1"=EE]; // Estonia
nwr(area)["piste:type"];
out count;

Remove the area type.

Thanks, that was the reason for the error. However it still doesn't print all the counts separately, only the one that is stated as the first one in the union: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/PzB Any idea?
