Ski Sunday returns with its usual mix of thrilling racing and incredible action as anticipation builds towards the Winter Olympics. Presenters Chemmy Alcott and Ed Leigh navigate their way through the wonderful world of snowsport, kicking off with the men’s downhill from Bormio in Italy. We also hear from the iconic British freeskier Gus Kenworthy.

Ski Sunday comes from Adelboden, Switzerland, for the men’s slalom as the Classic season of the World Cup gets into full swing. Great Britain’s Dave Ryding secured a memorable podium in last year’s race. Later in the show, we also catch up with the British para snowboard team, who’ll be travelling to Beijing for the Winter Paralympics.

The usually quiet, picturesque village of Wengen is transformed as 30,000 fans line the iconic Lauberhorn for the oldest and longest skiing event on the World Cup circuit. Later in the programme, the world’s leading snowboarders do battle in slopestyle and half-pipe at the renowned Laax Open.

This week, Ski Sunday comes from Kitzbuehel, home of the infamous Hahnenkamm downhill– a race with history and danger in equal measure and the one that skiers arguably want to win more than the Olympics. Later in the show, British Olympian James Woods catches up with possibly the greatest skier you’ve never heard of – the incredible Italian, Markus Eder.

In the final programme of the series before the Winter Olympics, Ski Sunday comes from Schladming, home of the iconic night slalom. The best technical ski racers in the world do battle on the imposing Planai piste, with Dave Ryding heading the British team’s charge. With Beijing 2022 just days away, everyone is building towards the Games, including the legendary snowboarder Shaun White. The American will be going for his fourth half-pipe gold medal, and he gives an exclusive interview to Aimee Fuller.
