Explains and shows how and why Austria’s “National Sports Home” in St. Christoph am Arlberg, first developed under the leadership of Ernst Janner, with help from Hannes Schneider, in the early 1920s, then by Professor Stefan Kruckenhauser (1930s-1972), and now referred to as Ski Austria Academy, became the world recognized center of snowsports’ study, practice, and development. Consequently, Austria developed a worldwide association with ski instruction, and Austrian ski instruction certification, which continues to be held in high esteem. This story is told in part by Werner Woerndle - Ski Austria Academy Director, and former Austrian Ski Team Coach.
