175: Behind the Scenes at 'Ski Sunday' with Chemmy Alcott

We go behind the scenes at BBC’s ‘Ski Sunday’ with presenter Chemmy Alcott. We discuss unscrewing 100-year-old skis from a wall so she could try them out on snow, wanting to go grass skiing with Dave Ryding and what’s it’s like taking on a downhill course a decade after you’re retired from racing.

We also discuss the many, MANY injuries she suffered over her 20-year racing career…
