Ski vocabulary question
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 24 Replies
Interesting. So in a way, it is correct and understandable, but it's still not quite right. Basically I'm translating a whole website, including skis presentations. We have like criteria on each ski with scales, e.g. Versatility from 1 to 5, Reactivity from 1 to 5, and "Accessibilité" in french, which I would translate by Accessibility without being too sure it's right. I've asked some friends of mine from UK, but they said the same. They could understand, but I can feel it's not perfect. They couldn't come up with anything better though. So I thought I'd ask real skiers.
And yes OldAndy,you understood it well, accessible would mean suitable for skiers. Like a ski with an accessibility of 1/5 is difficult to ride, recommended to advanced level skiers. A ski with an accessibility of 5/5 is very accessible, anyone can ride it.
Do I make sense ? If you see that on a website, would you immediately think "Oh, this d*** site isn't english !"
Thanks for your help anyways.

So for Ranchero it works, and for Dave it doesn't...hmmm, what would you say instead ?

Hi guys, I'm trying to translate stuff for a website, and there's one thing that bothers me. Can you say that a ski is accessible ? Meaning it's pretty easy to ride, for most skiers out there. Is that correct ? (I'm not a native speaker)
Thanks a lot !

Hi guys,
I'm trying to get a list of the most famous/popular magazines about skiing or snowboarding in Europe. Since Italy is part of it, I'm asking here, if any of you could help me with that. I'm looking for the print magazines mainly. Thank you all !
