What Ski Operators Really Mean!

We thought we would take a lighter look at what owners are really saying in our Top 5 quotes:

1. We’re just overlooking the main village – which means: get the oxygen tent out if you are walking back after a night of apres ski as you’ll have a 2mile walk and a 1,000ft ascent!
2. We should have the new photo’s on the site next week – which is code for: basically the chalet is an absolute mess, being totally gutted, debris everywhere, and if we're finished by March we'll be lucky!!
3. More snow is forecast next week and the slopes are holding up well – which translates: it hasn’t snowed once this season, the pistes looks like a mud wrestlers paradise with a sprinkling of artificial snow, so bring your wellies!!
4. Can I call you back I’m just in a meeting – which politely means bog off primarily, but also: don’t want to rub it in, but whilst your in a stuffy office in a polluted city, I’m getting first tracks in bright sunshine and fresh alpine air, so leave me alone (pleeeaaassse)!
5. Yes you can ski in ski out conditions permitting – we couldn’t refuse to get on our soap box with this one at number five (we are afterall a ski in ski out blog), and it of course really means: if the chalet up the road hadn’t put that damned hedge in their garden, the snow plough decides not to clear the main road, and someone can get a piste basher between the chalets we have a good chance of keeping 5cm of snow and mud and you skiing back at least!
