British Ski and Snowboard want us to become one of the world's top five skiing and snowboarding nations by 2030.

Right now, the English Alpine Championships are finishing up in Bormio, Italy.

So how are we doing?

Lets meet some of the young athletes who could be GB's skiing stars of the future...

First up, it's fourteen-year-old Daisi.

Daisi's mum won tickets to go to a local indoor ski slope and Daisi got talent spotted!

Coaches thought she had potential and she joined a race club.

Now she's placed 2nd in both of her Under 16 slalom races...
