That means they don't know where yet because they are still trying to negotiate the deal. 600 minutes of broadcast on C4 for some resort will be valuable coverage (unless snow is patchy and weather crap of course) so which resort is going to be mad enough to shell out, put them all up, entertain them etc? I do hope it's Borovets.

Can't really imagine Brucie flying through the air - chin out!!!

On the same subject - if you ever get the chance to see the Undercover Boss USA episode featuring Andy Wirth at Squaw Valley enjoy the almost hysterically transparent primetime advertising messages in the bought and paid for show.
"Here I am with Ski Patrol - what an awesome job these guys do keeping the mountain safe for all our guests & look at our awesome terrain"
"Here I am with lift ops - look how much investment we make in state of the art lifts"
"Here I am with Terrain Park crew at Alpine. Yes we bought Alpine - it's an awesome mountain and the park is awesome for those of you with young park monkeys and $$$$s"

Simon94, I've heard rumours that Brucie's chin will make an appearance as the jump in the final.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I'm kind of looking forward to this - at last a reality type that hopefully will be interesting to watch giving insights into a variety of winter sports. If they really are going for the full on "extreme open air alpine challenges", their insurance must be through the roof (people seemed to break something regularly doing "Dancing on Ice" - the only other reality programme I watch on & off).
Who knows it might even do for raising winter sports profile what TOWIE did for fake tan and everything else considered "glam" by their demographic  !

You know it makes sense.

schneeflocke, Yeah no chance - it will hype up something like doing a luge run from 3/4 of the way down as the most dangerous thing ever attempted and 90 minutes of build up and training tears/tantrums for 30 secs of action.

Is Skiing really a terrifying winter sport, I always thought of it as fun. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong...

indeed. Even better if they'd thought about this before Torina 2006.

Bearing in mind what type of celeb will probably be on this show, I would love to be able to invent some of the games. If I could choose the contestants even better.
I'd like to see Ant and Dec and jedward have a three legged race on skis down the Hahnenkamm.
Also watching Jordan and Micheal McIntyre playing Russian roulette would be a good filler between races and could produce a stunning visual of red on white if they used the right gun.
