Meet Ben Kilner one of Britian's best halpipe snowboarders. 

Episode four of One Team to Sochi is out and it's all about the young lad from Bradford; Jamie Nicholls.

The Relentless Freeze Festival did exactly what it said on the tin and those not wearing their ski jackets could be found with teeth chattering, huddled around the vin chaud stand wrapping themselves in a fruity alcoholic blanket.

As the best freeriders in the world gather in Revelstoke this weekend for the first stop on the all-new Swatch Freeride World Tour by The North Face, we were fortunate to be able to have a sit down with a free skiing legend, holder of the world record for the highest cliff jump and super nice guy - Fred Syversen.

Billy Morgan is one of the Britian's best chances of a Freestyle snowboarding medal at the Sochi Olympics.

Dom Harington is a Halfpipe Snowboarder from Leeds who has missed the last two Olympics due to injuries after winning the Europa Cup Halfpipe. Sochi is probably his last chance to be part of the Olympics and he's giving it everything he has.

With the whole of Verbier shut down in May (well most of it) its time to recharge the batteries and look forward to the summer events.

The ski lifts are preparing to open and the Christmas holidays are on the horizon.
