Ski-in,ski-out I was looking for a translation for this term and saw this Proz entry for the term but did some further research. Ski-in, ski-out seems to be used a lot in this context.

Ski from your door

This means you can ski to/from your chalet/apartment without having to use a lift. That's the idea - how it's phrased depends on the rest of the sentence.

neutral Gayle Wallimann : That's what I thought too, it's the "stade éclairé" that throws me off. I thought that the skiers were skiing in a stadium with artificial snow.

It could be a stade de slalom éclairé - it would help to have the whole sentence or more context.
