Notes
Goofy goes to Sugar Bowl Ski Resort, to learn how to ski. The name of the resort can be seen in the opening frames of the cartoon. Sugar Bowl Ski Resort was used because Walt Disney had an interest in the Sugar Bowl ski area, to the extent that one of the peaks at Sugar Bowl is named Mt. Disney after him.
The narrator and the opening titles mention an alternate (and obscure) pronunciation of skiing as shee-ing, despite the narrator mostly pronouncing it vice versa throughout the short.
This was the first cartoon to use the signature Goofy holler; it is the only vocal uttered by Goofy in the short.
