BACKGROUND
When youth worker Dan Charlish asked two teenagers playing a skiing computer game at a youth centre in Stockwell, London, if they would ever do it for real, he was taken aback by their incredulous response. He became determined to make snowsports accessible to young people from inner city areas and in 2003, together with colleagues, fundraised to take 13 10- to 19-year-olds to the French Alps. He remembers the "magic moment" they got to grips with skiing and glimpsing "amazing youth work gems in snowsports".
