Plot.
Schlitz is a tourist in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Ignoring posted warnings which say that you shouldn't climb Mount Washington (the tallest mountain in New England) in bad weather, Schlitz pushes onward up the mountain, briefcase in hand. He gets lost in the snow, becomes entangled in mischief spun by a quirky hermit, and finally ends up skiing down Tuckerman's Ravine at perilous speeds, losing his briefcase several times.

Wiki.
Schlitz on Mt. Washington is a 1937 short film by American filmmaker Christopher Young. Shot on location using 35 mm, the film is said to have required a "Herculean effort," since all the camera equipment and reels had to be hiked up the mountainside. The film contains a cameo appearance by alpine skier Mary Bird, who competed at the 1936 Winter Olympics. All dialogue and description in the film is conveyed through the narration supplied by newscaster Lowell Thomas.
