This Movietone newsreel from 1934 features aerial views of the Snowy Mountains, including a chalet from which members of the Ski Club of Australia are leaving, yodelling as they go.
Close-ups of ski bindings show the early method of securing the boot to the ski. The long trudge up the hill is rewarded with pristine snow conditions and an exhilarating ride back to the chalet.
