The Christmas Santa tried to Ski

One Christmas, Santa's sleigh was broke down again. He had no means of transport - boy, it was a pain ! He climbed half way up a hill ... he got a great view, but also caught a chill ! As he sneezed, some of the snow shook - before he knew it, off he took ! Some of the branches were unstuck ... he started to slide and landed in the brook ! Luckily, the logs on the route, were great skis to put on his foot, instead of his boots. That Christmas went faster than ever - especially since he spent most of his time in bed with fever !

If the hill climbed by Santa was 5 km high, travelling at a spped of 0.5 km / 5 minutes, how long did it take to reach the bottom of the hill ?
