Manx snowboardcrosser Zoe Gillings is leaving the Island this morning (Wednesday), after a short visit home, to start her cold weather training for the new season.

She says this has been made possible by her loyal Isle of Man-based sponsors and her business - isleofdeals - being promoted by Manx Radio:
