Default Passing Someone in French

Would appreciate some Ski-French help. *If I'm passing someone on the
right (e.g., on a downhill) in Quebec, do I say "a droite"? * (or does
that mean "it's your right"?) *"Par votre droite"?


Coincidentally, there is a French word for the little social
niceties to be observed in such situations.

Any guidance appreciated (and since I'm asking--what's the word for
kick wax--I always thought it was "fartage" but someone said something
that sounded like "cire")


Gosh, what a lot of (Go Ogle) search terms you have there.

I don't think it's ever polite to pass gas near someone
you don't know.


Otto, do you just pick groups at random for these little gems, or do
you have some automagical software that finds them for you?
