A musical soundtrack and voice-over narration accompany this history of skiing from the turn of the century, when it was first introduced in France in order to create an Alpine army corps. Sequences include: French government troops on skis in 1900 standing under an archway that reads 'Pour La Patrie'; army maneuvers in deep snow; troops skiing down a mountainside; a 1908 long distance ski-race with French, Swiss and Norweigan participants; French President [Clement Armand Fallières] waving and stepping into a motor car; and scenes of civilians boarding a train for a ski holiday. Additional shots of: a local band marching in front of a party of skiers; horse-drawn toboggans; an early bob sled; a 1914 motorized snow vehicle; Alpine ski events after World War; slalom skiers; French champion Emile Allais; and sequences on present day downhill, slalom, and ski-jumping events. <3.75mn>
