Ski Flight

1938 · 10 min

A calm, instructive black-and-white ski lesson on snowy slopes, pleasant and unhurried, like watching a skilled teacher demonstrate with quiet pride.

Tagline: Featuring OTTO LANG, Coach of the U. of Washington's Crack Ski Team
Overview: Shortened version of the film 'Snow flight' distributed by Warner Bros. The film was produced by Jerome Hill as 'a document of skiing according to the principles of Hannes Schneider.' It features Otto Lang, director of the Mt Rainier and Mt Baker ski schools. As the film opens, Otto emerges from a cabin beneath Table Mountain at the Mt Baker ski area with his canine friend. He applies wax-on climbing skins to his skis. Then he steps into his bindings and climbs to a scenic ridge. The narrator describes each technique in detail as Otto demonstrates again. Several of the maneuvers are done in slow motion on a slope meticulously packed by side-stepping.
