Who
is Walter Foeger and what is Natur Teknik? Perhaps you weren't asking,
but everyone in the Franklin and Orleans counties of Vermont ought to know of
them. Both once did a great deal for the area. And both once played an innovative
role in the development of ski teaching technique but are currently overlooked
in most ski histories.
