  2. Atkin faces late fitness test, Omerod returns after shoulder injury

    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.
