Ryding will enter the start gate in this Sunday's competition (17th November) as reigning Europa Cup Slalom Champion. This is the first race of the European winter season for the 26 year old from Lancashire who is in the running to compete at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games next February. Ryding has already met the Olympic Qualifying Standards, but will know on 22 January 2014 whether he will be part of Team GB.

Tilley, who is one of Great Britain's rising stars, will be taking part in her second World Cup on Saturday (16th November). Her first ever World Cup last season saw her fail to finish, so after a successful summer in the Southern Hemisphere, Tilley who is 20 and from Aberdeenshire will be aiming to compete with the world's best slalom skiers.
Tilley will also take part in next week's Ladies Europa Cup in Levi alongside team mate Charlie Guest. They will both compete in both slalom and giant slalom (Friday 22-Monday 25 November).
