Sad news indeed. Helmets should be made compulsory, simple as that.

Well tbh I was judging this before I even saw it, BUT after looking at the pics it doesn't seem too bad. If I was starting out I'd be steaming straight into this.... Put clothing prices in

Ski Sunday was such a good programme 2/3 years ago. It was on for an hour and featured not just racing, but also some 'Top Gear' type features. I also liked the snowboarding that they covered. Then the dreaded credit crunch hit,the BBC sports budget got slashed, and we only get a rushed half hour programme. Lets hope they invest some cash back into it soon.

Having said that, I have heard that the BBC have declined the opportunity to cover the Commonwealth Games in 2014 in Glasgow. This is a real shame and seems to indicate that they are not likely to invest much cash into sports for the next few years!



Esrg - There too busy promoting reality TV crap thats why. This is where all their budget goes to...

This aside though Tony i have to admit i think Eurosport absolutely nails coverage for winter sports. They do a brilliant job of broadcasting as much as possible. I am a little biased though as im also into cycling and they cover all this too :P

The BBC is a joke like you say. By the time they get round to showing any coverage the season will be over 6 weeks in... :evil:

For other coverage on ski footage for those who have sky HD i would reccommend Rush HD. I think its a such a great channel for all the freeski footage.
