Follow the training of our British Olympic hopefuls as they prepare for the Winter Olympics 2014 in Sochi.

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.

This year’s Mondial VTT was blessed with sunshine and clear blue skies. Once again the resort of Les Deux Alpes played host to the international mountain bike festival which had stalls from all the major brands.

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.

August in Les Deux Alpes has it all, with events to suit all ages and abilities. From family festivals, to adrenaline fuelled summer skiing, take a look at some of the best the month has to offer.

After four exciting days of racing in the Alps, Chris Froome emerged victorious in Paris for the third win of his career. Equalling the records of Philippe Thys, Louison Bobet and Greg LeMond who all have three Tour wins under their belts, and becoming Britain's first three-time winner.

Details have just been announced for two events this summer – one familiar and one brand new. The 2 Alpes Outdoor Festival on 24th-25th June will be followed by the eighteenth edition of the Mountain of Hell mountain bike race the weekend after

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

It's the school holidays, the resort is full of families and it's getting a little warmer.

The Mountain of Hell is back for its 20th edition, this time with a Clash of the Titans theme, on June 28th-30th 2019. The event attracts around 700 riders each year and has been hugely popular since its debut in 1999.

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.

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