OFF PISTE ON THE AIR...

9 December 1999


Off Piste - the radio show for ski and snowboard fans - returns to the airwaves on 27 December* on BBC's '5 Live'.

Self-confessed playboy and budding film star Alberto Tomba gives a rare interview - so it should be worth tuning in simply to hear his plans for this natural career move. 

Anyone reading this based in or going out to the Alps might be interested to learn that you can usually get a fairly decent reception (in daylight hours!) out there for '5 Live'.  This is very useful for keeping up with the footie results.  


* 7pm GMT.  For early-risers and other time-zoners there's a repeat on the 29th at 6am GMT. '5 Live' can be found on the dial at 693 or 909 MW.
