New Series of World Cup Skiing on 4
Thursday, 13 September 2007
World Cup Skiing, Snowboard, Freestyle and Nordics are back on Channel 4 this coming season with its longest series to date.

Hothouse Productions has won the Channel 4 contract for the sixth successive year. Presented by former British ski team racer and Hothouse Productions Managing Director, Nick Fellows, the new series will once again focus on the Alpine Ski World Cup tour for 20 x 1 hour Sunday morning programmes. The series also includes Alpine World Cup Highlights on Monday, Nordic on Tuesday and a two hour Snowboard and Freestyle programme on Friday nights. Providing a total of 110 hours of winter sports coverage.

Starting on Sunday 18th November 2007 and running until 6th April 2008 the series special guest list reads like the who’s who of skiing. Kristina Koznick, our reporter and former World No.2 will be joined by Martin Bell, Ken Read, Franz Klammer, Bruno Kernen, Kjetil Aamodt and more.

Fellow’s explained “we plan to cover more women’s races than any other season to date as I predict Chemmy Alcott will become the “Lewis Hamilton” of winter sport. Our production team is quite possibly the most experienced and confident in the UK and the result will be dynamic, informative winter sport all season long”

Join the Channel 4 ski team on Sunday 18th November at 8 am.  All programmes will be repeated an hour later on Channel 4 + 1
