  1. Gerken Schofield twins in moguls action, Wallace caught up in visa drama

    BBC Sport’s week-long winter sport bonanza begins with the Freestyle Ski World Championships taking place in Almaty, Kazakhstan, 8-11 March.

    This includes the flips, turns and jumps of the Moguls and Aerials Finals.

    The GB moguls line-up includes the Gerken Schofield twins Tom and Leonie, as well as younger sister Makayla.

    PyeongChang Olympic aerials skier Lloyd Wallace will compete in his event following issues with trying to attain a visa due to travel restrictions.

    The 26-year-old posted on social media that he had been “utterly distraught” at potentially missing the World Championship but had finally made it to Kazakhstan.

    Wallace also cited a “simple clerical error” which added to the confusion.

    Following on from the Freestyle Ski World Championships, the action moves to Aspen in Colorado for the Snowboard & Freeski World Championships, 10-16 March.

    Olympic bronze medallist Izzy Atkin will lead the Great Britain team, if she comes through medical tests following a heavy fall during the X Games slopestyle final - in which she won silver - in January.

    The 22-year-old suffered a concussion after crashing on her fourth run and had to be carried off the course on a stretcher.

    Atkin's younger sister Zoe Atkin will compete in the ski halfpipe event, while last season's overall snowboard World Cup winner Katie Ormerod returns after a recent shoulder injury.

    Also competing will be reigning ski slopestyle world champion James Woods, along with 2014 Olympic silver medallist Gus Kenworthy, who has switched from representing the USA to GB.

    There are beginners’ classes all over the country, and you can pick up the basics quickly. So, if you like the cold, the rush of speed and adrenaline then give it a go.

    Skiing is a great workout - you can burn up to 500 calories an hour.

    Also, anyone with a disability can compete. Disability Snowsport UK has loads of advice about getting involved. They offer lessons, recreational adaptive skiing with local groups and a race league which is open to people with or without a disability.

    Find your local centre in England, Wales or Scotland to get yourself on the slopes. The Ski Club of Northern Ireland has a useful Facebook page too. There's also loads of information at Disability Snowsport for anyone looking for inclusive skiing.
