ski sunday 1989 5 Kitzbuhel

[@nathanwilliams2152]

The great David Vine…how we miss you sir, and this programme. I loved watching the great skiers of the 1990s - Ortlieb, Heinzer, Alphand, Trinkl, Knauss, Tommy Moe, Girardelli, Tomba, Aamodt, and on the women’s side, Seizinger, Kostner, Wiberg, Kronberger, Wachter, Compagnoni, Picabo Street…magical era for skiing.

I agree, it's more like a travel programme than watching a ski contest, with the presenters , interrupting after every skier with there face ,no wonder Graham bell went to Eurosport and I miss his skiing the course, it's a bit like Martin brundle grid walk when he left BBC.

Fabulous Sundays commentated by a legend.

Thanks for posting this! Loved Ski Sunday as a kid in the 80s growing up in Lancashire, where there was no snow in sight. As an adult I learned to ski in Austria and Kitzbühel is where I now take my kids. Can’t handle the mousetrap though 😂 I like to think this episode planted a seed in my mind that came to fruition twenty years later.

Badass test pilots on skis!! Awesome generation of racers.

My stepfather used to religiously subject us to this programme every Sunday, then even before the theme tune had finished, he'd fall asleep! We'd then try to change channels and he'd instantly wake up and say: "I was watching that!" 🤦‍♂️

[@rcrp7621]

I cannot agree enough with you all. Sunday, exotic, David Vine, Human League, Lauberhorn, Kitzbuhl, Klammer, Tomba

Modern computer graphics at the start, but poor David still had to phone his commentary in.

I think I could do it.

Back then, I thought the future still had some hope, although, even then, I was exhausted. It's all been rubbish really. Yep. Can't lie. I'm not interested in anything anymore.
