'Five minutes walk from the lifts' - in trainers, when there's no snow on the ground and you aren't carrying skis, poles and a backpack.

Not exclusive to ski hols but...
Boutique = all furniture upholstered in brown leather. General colour theme is brown, possibly with highlights in orange and/or turquoise. Rooms are well-equipped but too small to swing a cat. Prices inflated to recoup exorbitant fees from "designer".

Breathtaking views (but ominously silent on the topic of ski in/out) = treacherous descent to the nearest piste access & bl00dy long icy climb back up at the end of the day; ice axes and ropes recommended.

"Ski bus stops outside the door"
Once every two hours, by which time there will be an unruly crowd who will shove women and children aside in their desperation to board.

Short transfer = as the crow flies but not so short in a long bus doing switch backs on a mountain
2 hour transfer = in the summer in a car, read for 3 hours in a bus in the winter
3 hour transfer = as above, read as 4 hours
4 hour transfer = well, you get the picture by now!

"Convenient flights Chambery" ...you'll be stuck on the tarmac at Lyon for an hour waiting for the fog to clear at Chambery untill the pilots flying time expires and then waiting another 2 hours while the coaches that are at Chambrey get diverted. We will give you something to do during this time though by putting all the luggage from 10 flights on the same carrosel.

The *insert ski area name here*'s best kept secret.
It's no secret, you've never heard of it because there's nothing there...

Ski to door... down what is basically a gravel path with ice on top which you will have to climb back up tomorrow.
300m from the lifts... straight up.
Popular... jam-packed blooming solid.
Will suit beginners... It's flat as a pancake.
Will suit intermediates... will suit beginners.
Will suit experts... the runs are blooming lethal, please don't sue us.
Great off piste... pitiful on piste.
Breathtaking... the hotel is at 3100m.
Traditional.. primitve.
Modern... dismal, soulless and probably not working.
Friendly host.. ingratiating creep.
Enthusiatic host... lunatic.

In Sweden we had a cooker which didn't appear to work and the supplied instructions were in Swedish, went to find a rep who informed us that it worked ok but there was a child safety interlock, you had to press a certain conbination of buttons to switch it on. Got back to chalet to find one of the kids in the party already cooking pasta on it!
