Two-time Olympian Jamie Nicholls has paid tribute to vital local facilities such as Halifax Ski Slope for their key role in providing a platform for those inspired by the Winter Olympic Games to give snowsports a go.
The Yorkshire venue has become a hotbed of snowsport talent in recent years, with Beijing 2022 stars Katie Ormerod and Katie Summerhayes both training at the slope in their early careers.
Snowsports are so much more accessible than people may think, with many of the 200-plus clubs and facilities across the UK funded by The National Lottery.
