Downhill All the Way

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Ski-ing across country is centuries old, but the idea of ski-ing downhill is very much a British invention. Michael Smee traces the struggles faced by the early downhill skiers and chronicles the evolution of a prosaic and strenuous means of crossing snow-covered mountains into a world-wide leisure pursuit and an Olympic sport. Readers ELLEN MCINTOSH and GRAHAM BLOCKEY
