Ski Sunday

Ski Sunday comes from the Alpine World Championships in France, the bi-annual competition where the best skiers compete in a festival of racing. The programme features the blue riband events of the championships, the men’s and women’s downhills. After the racing, British former slopestyle world champion James Woods goes off grid in the Austrian wilderness as he explores a life on snow away from competition.

Ski Sunday comes from Chamonix to bring you the men’s slalom, featuring Britain’s Dave Ryding. This race is far more than a warm-up for the World Championships, as the best technical skiers on the World Cup circuit do battle for the prestigious Kandahar title.

Featuring the Schladming night slalom, iconic for its raucous atmosphere and thrilling racing. Almost 50,000 fans line the Planai piste, hoping for an Austrian home victory. There is also a look at ski touring in the Scottish Highlands from the beautiful Cairngorm Mountain.

Ski Sunday comes from Kitzbuhel, home of the most prestigious, thrilling and dangerous downhill on the World Cup tour – the Hahnenkamm. Winning here means as much, if not more, than an Olympic gold, and the crowds will be back in force for the showpiece of the ski racing calendar.

Chemmy Alcott and Ed Leigh host from Wengen, the site of the longest, fastest downhill race on the World Cup tour. Later in the show, ahead of his return to Kitzbuhel next week, there's a catch-up with history maker Dave Ryding. His slalom victory last year was Great Britain’s first-ever World Cup gold, and the ‘Rocket’ returned to Austria this summer to be presented with a gondola in his own name and to hike up the iconic Streif downhill course.

Ski Sunday returns with the best action and stories from the world of snow sports. The series kicks off with the classic slalom race in Adelboden, featuring history maker Dave Ryding.
