Originally launched in the late 1970s on the back of the 1976 Winter Olympics, later forming part of Sunday Grandstand and presented and commentated on by British broadcasting luminaries such as Ron Pickering and David Vine (who presented the show for 20 years until he took semi-retirement in 1996), the show focused primarily on the blue riband events of downhill skiing and Super G. Following the final edition of Grandstand in early 2007, Ski Sunday became one of the longest-running BBC Sports television programmes still being broadcast; the 2008 season was the 30th.

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. 

Known as The Rocket, Ryding became the first Brit to win a World Cup alpine skiing event in 2022. His triumph came in the Kitzbühel slalom – can he repeat the trick across the border in Switzerland? 

Later in the show, Jenny Jones travels to the USA to meet the incredible Vasu Sojitra, an amputee who hikes and then shreds the biggest mountains with an unmatched style and passion.

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.

ki 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.

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 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.

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.

The final episode of the series comes from Courchevel-Meribel in France as the Alpine World Championships draw to a close.
