"This humorous poster by Berta Czegka shows Hannes Schneider instructing a beginner's class of colorful and mischievous rabbits, whose attempts at skiing are way off the mark (Art of Skiing, p. 32). "Capital of the Tyrol's Arlberg region, St. Anton describes itself as the cradle of modern skiing and is to skiing what St. Andrews, in Scotland, is to golf . . . St. Anton's preeminence in Austrian skiing owes much to Hannes Schneider, who, in 1922, opened the Arlberg Ski School" (Ibid., p. 27). Art of Skiing p. 32.
