1940/1959

An instructional documentary on the graceful sport of alpine skiing. Explanatory captions are illustrated by footage of skiiers demonstrating the various positions and techniques involved. For beginners, elementary steps are taught to classes of adults and children attending Swiss ski schools. Groups of would-be skiers of all ages take to the slopes under the guidance of qualified instructors and perform such intricate movements as the "herring bone step", the "kick turn", and the "scissors christiania". Beautiful sequences of down-hill skiing performed by proficient skiers; children enjoying the sunny, snow-clad slopes; and skiers at work waxing their skis, performing acrobatics, and enjoying the comradierie of "après ski" relaxation promote the many attractions of a winter holiday on the slopes. <24mn>
