Last Friday, the financial plight of winter sports in Britain was highlighted when Snowsport GB, the governing body of Alpine skiing and snowboarding, went into administration.
The British squad was saved after the BOA formed a subsidiary company, trading as British Ski and Snowboarding (BSS), for the duration of the Games to satisfy the requirements of FIS, skiing's world governing body.
"We are in a position at the moment where 6.5 million pounds is spent over the four-year period on winter sports and nearly 400 million on summer sports," Moynihan told reporters yesterday.
"Those sports are basically getting 1.5 per cent of what the summer sports are getting and that is an unacceptable level of support."
The BSS will establish a new governing body after the Games to safeguard the future of Britain's skiers and snowboarders beyond 2012.
