The Snow Show - Muriel Gray
Date Posted: 11.55hrs on Sat 29 Sep 12
Quintessentially Scottish in Muriel Gray comic style and while sadly no action in Scotland, the series won an award in 1993 and is worth a watch I think.

"BBC Scotland's six-part series on ski-ing, The Snow Show, presented by Muriel Gray, has won the Royal Television Society Award for Best Regional Series"

Unlike the Munro Show this series seems to have sunk without trace, does anyone else have some episodes squirreled away on old VHS tapes? Must be in the BBC Scotland archives somewhere?

This clip includes skiing Jacksons Couloir.

Enjoy grinning smiley

Time for another instalment.

Bit slow to get started but a useful section on tips for the pow (Muriel Grays take on it that is) before the snow arrives smiling smiley

I wish I'd kept my Nevica jacket.

Thanks for putting this up, much more entertaining than ski sunday!

cool! watching the munro show (and reading "the first 50") when i was ~13-ish is probably half the reason i got into outdoor stuff. i even grew a beard, albeit not one with a built in survival bag grinning smiley

big cheers for posting these!

Final episode guys or final one I've got anyway (think there were only 6) seems like real retro stuff now, just look at that kit! :-)
