West Africa may be famous for its sprinters, but certainly not for skiing - you can't produce skiers if you don't have snow.
But Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong wasn't going to let that hold him back.
He first saw real snow just five years ago, and was so inspired he set his heart on becoming a successful skier.
He trained hard in Britain, and now he's heading to the Winter Olympics in Canada next year.
He's even campaigning to have an artificial ski-slope built in Ghana.
Kwame spoke to Outlook's Audrey Brown and explained his unusual sporting passion and why Ghana needs its own ski slope.
