Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Useful Ski Phrases

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.

'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.

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).
