Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Like the fact they are exposing ski cross. Thought that snowboard Cross in Bardoneccia, Turin 2006 Olympics was great entertainment. Prefer two planks to one, so the skiier element of it is even better.

Great.

How does one get at the red button/online stuff if one doesn't have a red button? i.e. where is it online? And will it be available later, or only at transmission time?

alex_heney, red button services are available via Freeview and with Freeview plus you can record them too.

You should be able to find everything you need to know about watching online here:

I know that. I don't have Freeview, and won't until the changeover round here, which is next March.

Again, I know about iplayer. I use it regularly, particularly to get programmes from BBC3 & BBC4 (which again I can't get until changeover).

But all I see in that is the main channels
BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three, BBC Four, CBBC, CBeebies, BBC News Channel, BBC Parliament, BBC HD,
BBC ALBA

There is no indication there of how you get at the programmes which are described in the link above as "red button/online". I was hoping somebody would know how I can get at those.

Does seem a shame they've lost the "Top Gear" element of the program. Would have peferred it to be 1 hour with other snow related fun.

alex_heney, if you go to the BBC iPlayer website, then to the sport section, you can access all the sport content they are currently showing. According to the Ski Sunday web page, the World Cup skiing content will be available for 7 days following first transmission.

Sweet! Shame high altitude is not sunning this year. Although they did kind of do every mountain sport possible last year so shot them selves in the foot.haha.

ajl, Although it isn;t particularly expensive, we never felt that the cost of satellite was worthwhile for what we would watch. And we don't particularly want a dish on the outside of the house.

My wife thinks I already watch too much sport, and the things she wants from BBC3/BBC4 I just download with iPlayer.

Freesat From Sky was and may still be free if you sign up and take a free trial of their subscription service which you can then cancel after three months.

andytb, There have always been free satellite services available.

They have never been worth the cost to us.

Well I've missed a few, but I discovered today that it was on and thanks to my new hard drive freeview recorder I am going to be able to see it this year - it was always on over goat feeding time rolling eyes but now with the click of couple of buttons I can set it to record the whole series so I don't need to remember its on Very Happy This new box of mine is rapidly reaching the comparable level of a 'high tech toy I'm keen on' as my TomTom Very Happy

Megamum, it works fine on mine, but unfortunately doesn't do a 'series record'. I don't think the red button coverage is classed as a 'series'.

Following the avalanche in Les Arcs he's sadly going to have to change his tune on 'no-one's ever died wearing an ABS backpack" he espoused just a couple of episodes ago.

A logical thread title, when you think about it. An alternative would be "Ski Sunday returns this Sunday", but that would repeat the word "Sunday". I quite like "Ski Sunday returns before next Monday", but it's too annoying.

Ernst Goldsmith, I chose the word 'weekend' for a good reason. The red button coverage started that Saturday.
