Story

Imagine being registered blind. Now imagine throwing yourself down a steep slalom race course at 45 mph, only knowing where to go by following your guide's bright yellow jacket and listening to what she says via your bluetooth headset.

You cant see the gates you race through. You don't know where the edge of the piste is, nor if there are any trees or hazards around. You don't know what the snow conditions are like and forget about seeing other skiers. You've got no chance at spotting them!

Meet James and Alice, Britain's kick-ass visually impaired ski racers. James Luetchford is a severely sight impaired alpine skier, who is guided by his wife, Alice Luetchford. Representing Great Britain at international Slalom and Giant Slalom races, they compete in the World Para Alpine Ski (WPAS) races in Europe, and have qualified for Europa Cup races in slalom. They aim to qualify for Europa Cup in Giant Slalom shortly.
