Ski Coverage On TV (Lack Of)

Can't understand how a sport as popular as ours has so little coverage on TV. I don't mean some superstar skiing off piste at 100mph but the likes of you and me in resorts across Europe skiing and boarding for fun.
The weather reports and updates are always just about 1 or 2 famous resorts and lasts about 30 seconds - if that.

A weekly programme on a sort of Wish You Were Here type basis I'm sure would attract millions of viewers and would be great to see.

Maybe 10 minutes each week ...

Maybe 10 minutes each week on 3 different resorts showing the slopes, conditions, apres ski, lift pass prices, etc.

Sure it would be a winner! I'd happily volunteer to be the presenter!

Cool

This is a great idea, l will be happy to do the falling over bit.l can do this with my eyes closed.lt will be good to meet up again and see how every body is. The snow looks amazing it will be good to see how the new boots work out. Marco did a good job with the fitting l hope l can do them Justice . My son Rob has told me l will need more than a new pair of boots to keep up with him.
We will see.

Aye Eurosport used to be great to watch this time of year before they brought in the subscription charges
