    British hopes in today's Ski Cross competition rest on Ollie Davies, who took a stellar fourth at the 2021 Idre Fjall Championships.

    Canada's Reece Howden, who's the current men's World Cup leader, and Sweden's David Mobaerg are among the favourites for the men's event.

    Meanwhile in the women's competition, Sweden's Sandra Naeslund, the reigning World Champion and Beijing 2022 Olympic champion, will hope for yet more success with Canada's Marielle Thompson and Switzerland's Fanny Smith providing strong competition.

    Snowsport England's programme to encourage people to take up snow sports

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

    Your knees take on the weight of your body when you turn downhill, strengthening your bones and joints.

    As you go down the slope, your body is in a squat position, which improves your balance and builds your stomach and leg muscles.

    Snowsport centres and dry ski slopes around the country offer lessons to children as young as three. Find your local centre in England, , externalWales, external or Scotland, external to get yourself on the slopes. The Ski Club of Northern Ireland has a useful Facebook page, external too.

    There's also loads of information at  Disability Snowsport , external for anyone looking for inclusive skiing.
