| Description: | "New York - 'Winter's Joys!' Youth & beauty flock to Lake Placid - scene of this year's Olympic Ice Sports Contest - to revel in the brilliant sunshine and crisp air." Lake Placid, New York, United States of America. Large horse drawn sleigh travels through snow covered woodland. People on skis are being towed behind. Several of them wave at the camera. CU profile of young men and women on the sleigh ride. One of the men is playing a piano accordion. View off the back of the sleigh showing the skiers being towed along. They wave at the camera. More shots of the accordion player and his friends. He is wearing a fur coat. POV as if steering the sleigh (cool shot looking over the heads of the horses, traveling down a snowy path). From the rear of the sleigh we see one of the skiers fall over and bring down the rest of the crew. CU of skier starting the descent down a ski jump. The jumper takes off from the base of the jump, wipes out and tumbles down the rest of the slope. Shot from behind a young boy as he sets off from the top of the ramp. This jumper is far more successful and glides gracefully to a halt in front of a small crowd. Another boy leaps from the ski jump. Closer shot of him taking off. Low angle shot of the landing. This jumper takes a fall. He ends up sliding and stopping right in front of the camera. | |
