Why don't you look up to see which are the 10 most famous ski resorts in the world, and then have a look at each of them on google earth to see if any of them look like the photo.

Best of luck,

Pablo,
I wouldn't worry. Bandit is very efficient, so if she couldn't find that snow report, the most likely explanation is that Goff took pity on everyone and very kindly forecast them some snow :D

I have never particularly noticed any drunks on the ski slopes either, but then, there are so many people falling over and staggering about on skis anyway, that it would be hard to tell :lol:

Ally

Presumably his first two attempts were much ruder and more explicit :D

Tino,
That's very kind of you to try and help, but really, I am serious here.

Mind you, if no such dictionary exists it would explain why generations of British skiers have had to put up with 'Bend zee knees' etc.

Does anyone know where I can buy a French/English ski dictionary?

I have an ordinary French dictionary, but it doesn't include specialist ski words and expressions. I am also having French classes in our local community centre but the teacher is not a skier herself, so she doesn't have the extra vocab either.

I will be ski-ing in a lesson with the French in the afternoon (which I've done before) and I would like to improve both my level of understanding and speaking.

I have thought that maybe a very simple learn to ski book in French might do, because I generally find it easier to understand expressions (especially when I have a dictionary to hand) than to compose them.

I would have thought that a ski dictionary would exist for French ski instructors teaching British skiers.

Thanks,

Ally

Ian,
Mrs W is clearly a very sensible woman :D
