With his first film "Skifascination", Willy Bogner junior composed something unprecedented: a ski symphony of ski races, sketches and ski ballet. The world had never seen such an aesthetic combination of choreographed ski turns, brightly colored ski suits and emotional music in 1966!

He didn't even need a continuous plot - snow, mountains and dancing on two boards were all he needed as the main characters!
