The mens downhill from Lake Louise is live on British Eurosport at 7.30 tonight and the super G tomorrow (at the same time I think)

Super! We are off there in 51 sleeps so gives a good chance to scope the early conditions!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Hope I'm not giving too much away, but Bode Miller's run was very entertaining - heart in your mouth stuff

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Good result for Finlay ? I'm not sure he'll be that happy, I bet his 'goalposts' have moved a bit after last season

Timberwolf, a solid result for the first race, but I think you're right that expecatations are higher for him this season than last. Top 10 finishes rather than top 20 should be seen as a great result, and a podium place some time during the season would be wonderful

I watched the coverage on Channel 4 on Sunday morning... I have to say I thought the commentating was awful. On a number of occasions the commentators suggested that this skier or that skier was in with a chance, when it was patently obvious they were carrying less speed into the final glide and were already behind on time. That man Strobl had an awesome second half of his run actually increasing the his time lead over the final gliding section !

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

I agree with Ritchie S
Commentating was cr*p, lot's of stupid comments that were wrong.
David Vine used to be great on Ski Sunday.
How about getting Murray Walker to do it !

In his defence I found Nick Fellows commentary more exciting than the restrained tones of Patrick Winterton on Eurosport the night before. I like commentators who enthuse about the sport. Although a fan of David Vine, by all accounts his skiing knowldege was pretty sketchy, and to be fair both Fellowes and Winterton were international skiiers

You know it makes sense.

Hywel, , I agree. I saw both and compared to the Eurosport commentary (wasn't it John Clarke?) the C4 was miles better. Still nice to see live skiing on TV though, so can't complain.

. The Swiss also skied really well, and look set for a comeback this year.
