Set your VCRs and PVRs to CTV on Wednesday night, 9:00PM.
These guys were my heroes in the late 70's, early 80's - Hunter, Irwin, Murray, Read, Podborski (and later Brooker) - the ultimate underdogs taking on Franz Klammer and the Austrian machine.
They were so underfunded that when Ken Read won at Val d'Isere, he was on an old pair of Fischers - the only pair of skiis he owned.
Anyways, the show tomorrow night is a dramatization. There should be lots of vintage equipment to get a chuckle out of.
