  | | This is lovely - informative and light-hearted. 
Almost makes me want to take up skiing. But not quite. The idea of jumping off at the top of the ski-lift would worry me.
Since I've never skied in my life, can you tell me what salopetes are?
The sentence beginning 'Far heavier than you had imagined' is a bit awkward. You might like to rephrase e.g. "You will then be handed your skis which will be extrordinarily heavy - far heavier than you imagined. You will then be shown how to carry them, balanced on one shoulder, tips up, and given the warning not to swing round too suddenly, as you will decapitate anybody in the near proximity."

| | hmm - you could just ask the sub-editor - but this is what I would do
First make the word 'salopettes' into italics, but only because it is a french word. And then, at the end of the word you need to put a footnote next to, you add the footnote comment inside the tags.
Don't leave a space between the tags, as the footnote should sit above the word you're explaining.
so it would be
<I>salopettes</I><FOOTNOTE>Lovely warm, specially designed trousers for skiing.</FOOTNOTE>
I hope that works, if you just cut and paste it.
