43 French* Phrases Essential For Any British Ski or Snowboard Trip

*These may or may not be in actual French... Most of them are almost definitely not.

If you’re off to the Alps on a ski holiday this winter, it’s useful to be able to convey your usual British riding phrases in French.

It’s often not easy to find translations for the phrases you really want to ask. After you’ve found out the time and asked where the toilet is, the guides in travel books can prove a little bit useless.

That’s where Mpora comes in. We’ve teamed up with Google Translate to find out the (largely inaccurate and grammatically incorrect) translations for the sentences you’ll need to say when you head to France this winter.

Here are 43 sentences that will let you express your regular British slope terminology in stunning – stunningly unreliable – French*:

1. “Where Is The Nearest Bar?”
