In honour of the snowmageddon, let's resurrect an old Friday traditional. With some fine sporting photography on the theme of winter sports.

Thusly,

Bodie Miller. Full speed or no speed.

Not so much of the actual skier, but this screenshot from Candide Thovex works pretty well today. Not actually much snow and a bunch of people out riding anyway...

Of course, this one's quite appropriate for Britain too:

MBE? For darts?!

We are definitely in a parallel universe from the one we started 2016 in.

First Brexit, Then Trump and now darts players being honoured. I want my old universe back.

I have huge respect for Nordic skiers. I remember some of the case studies of athletes at uni - and these guys were fitter, stronger, faster and more endurance by some measure as all-rounder athletes than any other sport.

Not photography but an artistic element nonetheless

Or the classic photo-finish carnage from Skier-X in Sochi

Not only is Gabriela Koukalová the best, but she's rather enjoyable to watch too.

I had a pair of Fischer C4s - great ski but didn't turn me into Franz.
