Meribel

Meet the two newest members of the Armed Forces Para-Snowsport Team

Watch: Armed Forces Para-Snowsport team members Tim Varley and Ian McCarthy chat to BFBS Sport's Cath Brazier

Tim Varley and Ian McCarthy are two of the newest members of the Armed Forces Para-Snowsport Team and were delighted to be invited to the Inter Services Snow Sports championships in Meribel last week.

Both have different injuries and illnesses but the skier and snowboarder came together on the slopes and forged a friendship based around the joy and freedom that sport gives you.

Although neither were competing during the week, they did take part in the sponsors' races and even got to test their skills against each other. 

In the featured video above, they sat down with BFBS Sport's Cath Brazier to discuss their journey to the team.
