The Art of Skiing
Goofy demonstrates the art of skiing.
Directed by Jack Kinney
Produced by Walt Disney Productions
A lighthearted animated short where Goofy bumbles through a skiing lesson with physical comedy and cheerful absurdity.
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.
