The ski map lies about the black, red, blue and green colours of the slopes. They are all white to me and my doctor said I am not colour blind, a lunatic may be.
Also if you try the "off-piste" in a roped-off area you will hear the shouting of "p1ss off" and not "piste off"

It is possible the French have a problem in counting as they call 4 valleys of Courcheval, Meribel, Les Menuires and Val Thorens the "3 Vallees". They must be losing millions to sell the 3 Vallees ski pass while many of us ski all the 4 valleys. So keep the secret tip to yourself.

For years I must have been under the misaprehension that Les Menuires and Val Thorens were in the same valley.

Don't let the ESF talk you into looking after 3 four year old french children on the chairlift. Inevitably at least one will be intent on going over the bar, another under and the last will refuse to move their skis to allow the bar to be raised.

Don't stand around at the end of a drag lift.

Put some mints in your pocket and hand around in Gondolas/Cable Cars to eliminate the dreaded "Gondola Breath"
