Ever wondered how they shot the opening credits of Ski Sunday? Or how many more years Graham can keep doing his video inspection runs?
Maybe what it was like working on 'The Jump'? Or crashing on the Hahnenkamm?
I won't be tuning in but can someone ask why it now takes three main egos to present the show plus a cast of about another half dozen ex athletes to do what David Vine did almost single handed.
Also do they all get paid for their product placements on the beeb?
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Won't be doing facache but I'd ask
- How does it feel for the rest of your life when you've gone from a job where being necessarily on the edge of sane behaviour was routine to more mundane things?
- You're not the biggest lad - how much advantage do bigger guys and girls have in speed disciplines (noting e.g. Rahlves wasn't a bit guy either)?
After all it is free

He is several inches taller than Rahlves.
You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

@Dave of the Marmottes, I wouldnt say he's a little guy, skied with him down to Rauz and a few fast pistes late season in Zurs/ Lech a few years ago when he was guiding some city types, piggy-backed for free.......he wasn't hanging about.
I do think Ski Sunday, and the Jump is/ was garbage though, but if it pays the bills then why not would be my take on it, if the Beeb/ C4 can keep flogging prime-time (ish) with that formula and folks watch then so be it, take the money.

Graham and Ed didn't do the drop from the heli or the jump at the end, the rest are just short set pieces stitched together.
snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

I was with you & we rode the chair up from Zuers with him while he dissed our skis I meant he's not that physically imposing i.e. more of an average guy than a Herman Maier or Lindsey Vonn
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

To be fair Lindsey Vonn's not really much of an average guy so it's not a very high bar you've set there.
So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

@admin, how very dare you making gendered assumptions about my non gendered use of "guy"!
You know it makes sense.

Clearly your ramped-up wokeness has caught me off-guard

I have sent a question in so will see if it gets used. Graham was GBR performance director when I was chair of the Freestyle Ski Committee so he will probably groan and think 'she is still trying to promote mogul skiing!'. The top GBR mogul skier got silver medal in one of the last world cup events before lockdown so great hopes for next season. I know some love watching endless downhills but I find it boring. Freestyle skiing or boarding is much more fun to watch.
When I was teaching and running school ski trips we came across Graham filming in Courmeyeur one trip. It was when he had famous people trying slalom courses. They were timed then Graham gave them some training and were timed again - always getting better due to his coaching. He was filming Tara P-T that day. He asked me to bring my pupils to the side of the course to cheer her on so it looked like a crowded slope. The school kids loved getting on tele!

I got that question thanks Kay.
@ster - good question re FB, I think you do need an account, but what we'll do is release it as a separate podcast later on
@pruman - who is the 'third' ego you mean? Jenny Jones or Chemmy Alcott??
@davidof - shame you missed 'The Jump', it was good fun when it was on.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?
