1987: On The Piste for a Ski Holiday | Niche Sports | Classic Documentary | BBC Archive

An entertaining documentary film for all those who ski, want to ski, or wouldn't be seen dead near a ski-slope. It follows the fortunes of two sets of skiers - a group of accident-prone beginners in Söll (known as the Benidorm of the ski-slopes) and members of the aristocratic and exclusive Downhill Only Club in the faded elegance of Wengen. As well as following the dramas and disasters of the ski-slopes, the film features some of the more uninhibited aspects of life apres ski. Clip taken from On The Piste, originally broadcast on BBC One, 2 January, 1987.
