Poster: A snowHead

Sorry, I'm being a tad lazy in the hope that someone out there already knows. So...what can we expect in the UK in terms of ski reporting, especially freestyle?
Anyone got any ideas? We have NTL cable but no video hard disk...

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

An insert in a recent skiing magazine advertised the Channel 4 skiing coverage, see http://www.hothouse-productions.com for more details. Basically 20-Nov-2005 until 26-March-2006, Wednesday night and Sunday mornings for skiing, Fridays (no time of day listed) snowboarding.

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

David, although there was this snowHeads thread on the subject earlier this month, not a lot of light was thrown on the question.
I don't think Channel 4 have publicised any programme plans yet. The BBC will have the Turin Winter Olympics in Feb, presumably. I guess the satellite channels are your best bet. Transworld Sport on Channel 4 (it's at 7.05am, Sunday) sometimes has excellent snowsports stuff, so I'd keep an eye on that.

I thought I'd be cunning and set up a marker for Digiguide to pick up anything snow related on the freeview set of channels, and I have to say I struck lucky

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

When I was at the ski show there were some guys advertising "Snow Patrol" on discovery or life channel or something. As someone who only has a 2nd hand freebee digbox I listened no further. Can anyone shed any light?
