The Art of Skiing streaming

1941 Movie United States Short, Comedy, Animation 8 min
By: Bill Roberts, Jack Kinney With: Hannes Schroll, John McLeish

Goofy, staying at the Sugar Bowl resort, demonstrates the basics of downhill skiing, which the titles and announcer insist is pronounced "SHEEing". The equipment is, of course, of the era. As you can imagine, Goofy has much trouble keeping his skis parallel and pointing downhill. The final ski jump conveniently lands Goofy right back in bed.
