Description

Just as the 1960s saw a surge in package holidays to sunny climes on the continent, so there was a corresponding increase in those taking up winter holidays, particularly for skiing. Previously a passtime of the rich, alpine skiing holidays suddenly became affordable to a greater number of people and by the late 1970s and early 1980s it was even common for schools to offer skiing trips for pupils. This UTV report drops in on a Norwegian ski instructor who is teaching other prospective ski instructors, who in turn will teach the novice skier. He was confident that by training first timers before they arrived on the slopes they could save two or three days during which they could be enjoying the swish of their skis going downhill instead of tumbling over.
