   Eddie goes into detail about his teenage skiing days on snow and artificial surfaces. Not much detail is shown other than a wall of awards and some of his days as a novice.
   Eddie was an accomplished speed skier and diver. He also enjoyed stunt skiing. Not mentioned in the movie.
   Eddie was offered a job as a ski instructor in Austria based on his performance on the artificial slope in Gloucester. This was prior to school graduation (O level). He turned down the offer. No job offer.
   Eddie went to work (age 18) with the Schools Abroad organization at the Italian resort of Coile di Tenda. This does not happen.
