The whole roll consists of various shots from different angles of a cross-country skier alone in the Birds Hill Park, Manitoba, of him not appropriately dressed tiring himself, having to stop to catch his breath, going on skiing and stopping again, of him exhausting himself skiing up hill, of him falling down and trying to get up, walking in snow on his knees with skis still attached at his feet, of him lying down in snow and opening his coat, having problems to breathe, of him lying in snow with three cross-country skiers approaching him in background.
