 Poster: A snowHead
|
A reporter to natives.co.uk - Toffa in La Tania - just posted this photo to their site.
I've been to a number of campsites in my time - admittedly, most of them a bit more level than this one - but never a campsite that warned me about groundsheets.
How do the piste patrol expect us to take them seriously with this sort of thing?

Of course one way to avoid rebukes and mowers is to describe snow conditions as 'sheet', but they look pretty perfect in that photo!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Saw the same wording on similar signs in Les Arcs on Saturday, and it is amazing how you slow to a crawl when you see a big orange sign and you haven't clue what it means!

When I was there just over a week ago, just over the crest of that roller was a....sheet of ground! (as opposed to a sheet of ice). Seems to me about the most accurate warning I've ever seen on piste.
I assume it had been stripped bare by all those boarders bulldozing the white stuff away  .

Wonderful!
Still waiting for the literal French translation, which is probably 'bald patch'!

David Goldsmith, do you really mean literal? because that's pretty much what we've got. According to my dictionary: plaque = plate, sheet, slab, tablet, plaque (sic), disk and "de terre" = "of ground" (obviously). As for more idiomatic...over to the bilinguists.
