Ah, the halcyon days of Rugby Special and Ski Sunday of an evening, watching en famille by the fire. Crumpets one week, muffins the next.

Sunday night=bath night then toast grilled on the open fire 
T'anks for the memories.

gamekeeper, I have a first edition of James Riddell's 1958 "The ski runs of Austria", still useful to-day!
As for Skiing and Ski Sunday, I started skiing in order to keep with younger bro', sporting and social competitiveness knows no bounds between bros. In those days we had cash to splash, single and carefree!! Been skiing since 19__ when I was __ , many years later I have still got the same enthusiasm born on the the first trip to Livigno. As for Ski Sunday, a highly contentious issue, as previous posts have proved and to-day's report in the Daily Mail. Loved the original way back when and Vince's infectious commentary.

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

Oh I thought it had been around for ever as my brother learnt there. Can't believe it had such a short hay day.

I'm 44 and I remember watching Konrad Bartekski too. Also I didn't know anyone who skied and grew up in the North West!

Bode Swiller, thanks for the You Tube link to Val Gardena 1981. I still regularly quote the "We've had sensations, but this would really out-do everything" line from David Vine to cover particularly unusual events on family holidays. The kids love my David Vine impersonations, though the Good Lady isn't so sure...

Hmmm, she may have a point. Can't be many DV impersonators out there. Get well soon.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

We are certainly less numerous than Elvis impersonators, but a gig consisting of Ski Sunday in the first half and Snooker after the interval certainly packs in the punters.

I watched Ski sunday every weekend and loved it Alberto tomba was my fav!
stayed very close to Cairngorm so was up every weekend that it wasn't stormbound ,,,and also many when it shodul have been deemed as such and closed
My dad took us but didn't ski himself and mum would come occasionaly and ski with us ... but we were too quick for her:-)
I used to hum the ski sunday them tune as we wheeched down the hill
then came the no snow years.. we had season passes every year and then no snow.. can't remember the year 1988..89...90 maybe and we stopped going:-(
long time passed, all grown up now and ski holiday is the only one i want  love it
normaly to canada every 2 years ( countdown 5 weeks this saturday ) but we managed a last minute wee week in bulgaria last year... AND the FIS race was on - It was mental busy but we loved watching the race - and they kept cutting the camera to this older chap in the crowd everytime they did the crowd went mental - no english translation on the go so didn't know who he was
got home and watched the race to find out it was ALBERTO the man himself and i hadn't even known it... probably a good thing:-)
