{SILENCE}
[00:43:21]
Aside from our horse, Kitzbühel is also renowned as one of the leading ski centers of the world where many international ski competitions are held.
[00:43:30]
The little schoolhouse bell announces that it's time for the daily classes to begin.
[00:43:35]
There are over 30 different classes and pupils are graded according to their ability: Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced.
[00:43:44]
There are even classes for the youngest members of the ski set.
[00:43:48]

[00:43:57]
[[Laughter]]
[00:44:00]
Soon she was up trying it again.
[00:44:04]
There are 12 different cable ways, ski and chairlifts.
[00:44:08]
These ingenious methods of avoiding climbing a mountain before sliding down it carry, tow, or pull the pupils up to their waiting instructors, the famed Red Devils.
[00:44:19]
Ski enthusiasts from all corners of the globe come to Kitzbühel for their skilled instruction.
[00:44:24]

[00:44:39]

[00:44:43]
There he goes. But unlike a beginner, he's up in a hurry.
[00:44:49]
There are 50 different runs, including the gentle nursery slopes.
[00:44:54]
Lisa was told that this was one of those gentle nursery slopes.
[00:44:59]
[[Laughter]]
[00:45:01]
But being on skis for the first time, it seemed more like a high mountain to her.
[00:45:08]
{LIGHT LAUGHTER AND SILENCE}
[00:45:14]
[[Increasing Laughter]]
[00:45:21]
I shakily did a little better, but I doubt if either one of us would ever win any prizes for our skiing.
[00:45:28]
I don't think you're suppose to put one ski on top of the other.
