A short amateur film by a Sheffield filmmaker, this film follows his family as they ski on the snowy slopes of Sheffield.
The film opens with a small boy playing in the snow. He is skiing but is only just learning as he is still unsure. He stands up and smiles at the camera. As he climbs back up the hill, there are shots of his feet digging his skis into the snow. He falls over as he attempts to ski back down the slope again. A man skies past the camera while people stand around in the background.
A man in a red jumper and hat sits on his skis as he smiles to the camera. Beside him is another man. They both walk up the slope carrying their skies.
The next shot is of the young boy who slowly skies down the slope but falls over again, a woman helps him up. There is a brief shot of the woman who smiles at the camera, and is followed by a group of men racing down the slope. A family watches on as men ski over a small mound of snow flying past the camera. The two men joke about on their skies, showing off to the camera.
In the next scene there are numerous children sliding down the slope on rubber rings. Other adults and children ski all around.
The next shot is taken at a frozen lake where there are crowds of people ice skating. The filmmaker is trying to teach his son to skate. He holds his hand and brings him along. There are people skating in the background and the man pulls him along as the young boy struggles to stand. They skate past the camera.
The film finishes back on the snowy slopes with shots of the men and boy skiing over the snow mounds and falling over.
