Poster: A snowHead
|
I just found this whilst attempting to brush up on my (dated and rusty) German.
Essential(?) Ski Phrases in:
German
French
Italian
Spanish
Unfortunately the library doesn't do the same for Japanese or any of the Slavic or Eastern European languages.
P.S. just realised that this is a reboot of a 10 year old thread but I reckon I'll get away with it...

The German one is a wee bit dodgy! For example it says that "Ich habe meinen Knöchel verletzt" means I've hurt my neck! Knöchel is ankle. neck is Hals, Genick or Nacken.
The terms given for the snow conditions are also not what you would hear in either Bavaria or Austria! Luschig may be a Swiss term but here sulzig, weich, nass, are all used among other more slang dialect words.

Or "meester caribineri I scoff at your pitiful roadblock as I have the power of my mighty shovel!" ?

'j'ai la priorité, je suis le skieur en aval'
I have priority i am the down hill skier.
Also I like to top it off with 'vous êtes très dangereux' at which point french wide boys usually give you blank looks wondering why you don't have eyes in the back off your head.

When someone is annoying you and scratching your top sheet into confetti in a French lift queue (as is inevitable) just yell, "dégage". The word itself isn't rude but the context is understood to be. As such it's very effective. Just saying it normally will confuse them so do try to yell. Spitting it with typical gallic venom and adding 'vieux con' for a man or 'connasse' for a woman is even better and will get you respect from other queue-folk as these are offensive.

Bonjour Monsieur le Gendarme. Moi? Pour quoi ?

Kids misbehaving in queue or generally being obnoxious? "Doucement!". With a quick whack with a ski pole in extreme situations. Not offensive at all (well, not if you don't do the whacking bit).
