Freeride:īasically means off piste, hinting at that freedom one feels when floating through untouched fresh powder (see definition of powder/pow below). Visiting La Plagne? Then have a look at our First Tracks sessions.Įxample: The caption “ first tracks ” under an instagram post boasting of your awesome lines (see definition of line, below). It is also the name of our early bird ski touring clinics. Basically means being the first to ride down a powder field literally leaving first tracks. To which very little compares in the ski and snowboarding world. Psst: This is typically succeeded by high pitched shrieks or multiple high fives. Dump:Ĭontrary to what may spring to mind, it actually refers to an epic snowfall that will make every holidaymaker and season workers’ day/week/month.Įxample: “ We’re due a huge dump tomorrow ”. They don’t work so have the luxury of skiing all day, every day and joining all the best après gigs and events (see après definition, above).Įxample: After a long changeover day: “ I am so bumming next season ”. Bum:Ī ski bum is the subject of every resort staff’s envy. Bro:Īn affectionate term for our fellow shredders (see description for shred, below) and anyone who shares those unparalleled mountain experiences with us.Įxample: “ Where we headed today bro? ”. Typically relates to the climate, more specifically a day of skiing and snowboarding during blue skies on fresh, newly delivered snow.Įxample: “We’ve picked the best week – bluebirds all round”. Bail:īasically eating dirt (or snow in this case) off a feature or while attempting some steezy trick (see description for steezy below).Įxample: “ Nice bail off that rail dude ”. Bars with live music to check out include: the Ronnie, Jack’s, LDV and Meribar… and trust me, I’m only getting started…Įxample: Q: “ Where are you going for après today?” A: “Ronnie for the usual jug of peche ” OR “ LDV for Bring Your Sisters ” etc. Méribel is après-central and was recently voted third-best ski resort by the The Telegraph Ski & Snowboard with countless après-ski bands livening up your evenings. A quiet drink nursing those bruises from the park, admiring the view from the terrace and dancing on tables in your ski gear all count. Or “after” (literal French translation), it is – in a nutshell – everything included in our bizarre post-ski antics. Have a quick read, learn the jargon and get ski savvy before you hit the slopes this winter. If you’ve ever visited friends on a winter season and feel like they’re speaking Chinese, this guide is for you. We don’t call Meribel the ‘meribubble’ for nothing. Every bubble has it’s own lingo and ski resorts are no exception.
