The return of this popular series promises a feast of high-speed thrills from some of the most spectacular alpine settings in the world. Featuring today
The Men's 's Downhill from Val D'lsere.
From high in the French
Alps this fashionable resort hosts the traditional curtain-raiser La Première Neige to the season-long WORLD cup competition. The reigning champion is
Pirmin Zurbriggen who also skied to Olympic gold in Calgary. All eyes will again focus on the Swiss star while Great
Britain will be hoping that Martin Bell can reproduce the form he showed on Mount Allan last February. David Vine is joined by Sally Faber who'll be reporting on the opening Women's Downhill - also in Val D'lsere.
