Tartan Army Ski Bums Wanted...

We like this one lots...

CairnGorm Mountain is attempting to set a world record for the largest number of kilted skiers/snowboarders skiing down a piste at once. The attempt will take place on Saturday 6th March at 11am and all money raised will be split between Maggie’s Highland and the Badenoch & Strathspey Schools Skiing Programme.

They are aiming to have 600 kilted skiers and snowboarders ski in a single consecutive line from the Ptarmigan Top Station at CairnGorm Mountain all the way down to car park level.

In a press release Ian Whitaker, Chief Executive at CAirnGorm Mountain said, “Snow conditions this winter are so fantastic at CairnGorm Mountain that staff wanted to celebrate the skiing from top to bottom in a memorable way that would also involve the public. So far this year we have held two torch light descents but the “CairnGorm in Kilts” world record attempt would be unique to Scotland and Scottish Skiing. We hope that our customers will embrace the fun and also know that they are raising money for two great local causes.”

Participants should be competent intermediate / advanced skiers or snowboarders capable of skiing slowly and steadily from the top station down the Traverse, Coire Cas, Zig Zags and the lower slopes without stopping. (World record attempts require the line to be consecutive and a moving single line.)

Impossible is Nothing - apart from the sale date...

The new Scotland strip has been unveiled but so far no details have been released officially about when the SFA plan to sell them. What is clear is that the online marketing department at the SFA has gone up a few gears with the launch of a new Facebook site for Scotland fans and if you want to be first to know about the launch of the strip you can leave your email address on the SFA site.
