36B L-1650 Ski-Esta Code CERKA America goes ski crazy ! And here's why ! Here is an American motion picture of the newly popular sport of skiing — prepared especially for the novice, although of great value for the more expert devotee. All the elements of skiing are stressed, from the measuring and waxing of the skis, to the more advanced phases of the thrilling sport — phi> pictorial beauty and real entertainment. A ski train takes us out to the snow-covered hill country where, after the skis are waxed and attached to the skiers' boots by approved bindings, the class limbers up. The importance of the poles and the correct way of holding thcni is not overlooked. After going through the Arlberg, double stem, kick turn and other exercises, on level ground, the class climbs slo])cs of varying steepnesses, using appropriate technique. An occasional misstep furnishes the humorous element. In taking the hills on the way down, we are shown the double stem, double stem turns ; then follow the various stem Christianias or stem Christies — pure, open and jerked. There is nothing like the thrill of speeding from 30 to 40 miles an hour under your own power, depending entirely on your own skill and nerve — truly the King of Winter Sports. lO 771171.
