British Ski and Snowboard (BSS) has found a new sponsor to help support its top skiers for the next two years.
The British team had to fund its own training ahead of February’s Winter Olympics after governing body SnowsportGB went into administration, owing £300,000.
But the newly formed BSS has found an as yet unnamed sponsor for the 11-strong senior squad. The money will enable skiers to pay for coaches and organise race programmes.
Chief executive Dave Edwards told BBC Sport: "We have made some really good progress and are in much better shape than we were three to four months ago.
"The funding is secure for the next two years and the athletes are keen to get stuck into their summer programmes.
"This is an exciting group of athletes and we will do everything we can to ensure they deliver great results in international competition."
Edwards added that BSS would continue to seek new sponsorship opportunities.
