Channel 4 will once again outgun the BBC with its ski coverage this winter, and presenter Nick Fellows is looking forward to a vintage season:
“We can expect to see some great performances from the British contingent this season... Alain Baxter has been flying in training, whilst this is the season that I really expect to see Chemmy Alcott underline her huge potential and secure a race win.
“In World Cup Snowboard, 19-year-old Zoe Gillings is already leading the World Cup standings and is ranked the No 1 Women's Snowboard Cross rider in the World. With Lesley McKenna one of the favourites in the Women's Half-Pipe, we can expect to see more British success on the snow than perhaps we have ever previously achieved. It is certainly going to be a winter season to savour.”
Channel 4's coverage begins on Sunday 21 November. Konrad Bartelski and Martin Bell will also commentate. More details in this news item from Ifyouski.com.

To live the thrills of Skier-X, don’t miss the tv footage of the recent Saab Salomon Crossmax Series at Les 2 Alpes on Eurosport, tonight, Wednesday 24th at midnight UK time - Yoz Xtreme Sports… but there's no indication of how much of the programme it takes up.
Over on snowRacers there are details of the WC Cup Euorosport coverage:
Alpine
Snowboarding (but can't find the times as yet, dates only)

Thank god for devices that record TV is all I can say! Watched Monday night's Ch 4 programme yesterday and enjoyed seeing Bode Miller stomp all over his rivals. Nice commentary from Fellows and Bartelski, but I wish they were allowed to provide a bit more detail on the technical performance of some of the skiers. I had to watch Bode's runs in slow motion to try and work out why every other turn seemed to be cut as he flung his skis across the racing line - still not too sure why he was doing it, but it certainly seemd to work!

I watched the racing at 08.00 last Sunday (well recorded it), that was highlights, and then recorded 2 hours on Mon night. I was really chuffed that it was on and although the results were 3 weeks out of date it was still worth watching.
I say "good on ya Nick and Channel 4".
