Charity campaigner and former model Heather Mills has been offered a place in the development squad of the British disabled ski team for a trial period.
The ex-wife of Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney lost part of her left leg in an accident in 1993.
She is hoping to reach the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi, Russia.
"Heather is only at the first stage of a journey that we hope will lead to her becoming a full squad member," said team manager Dave Chugg.
"She has made clear her ambition to represent Great Britain in adaptive ski racing and approached the British disabled ski team to try out for our development squad.
"At a recent assessment in an indoor ski slope, she demonstrated that she responds well to coaching and is capable of adapting her skiing in response to coaching direction.
