Some Quotes and Clippings
1932-1948
„At the end of every week there was a performance test. Under the guidance of instructors and the judges and in front of many interested spectators a downhill race takes place. Every ski school guest can take part and challenge for the "Palu-Badge". The easiest is to get the blue badge for the sleeves, you only have to make it through a certain track without falling.
