Retro Ski Attire Day At Scotland’s Still-Open Cairngorm This Weekend

Scotland's Cairngorm Mountain above Aviemore is one of the final 2% of ski areas still open worldwide as we near the end of April.
The resort plans to celebrate tomorrow with a Retro Ski Attire Day plus an informal Park Jam in the Ptarmigan Bowl where the snow remains at the top of the slopes.
"We are taking it back this Saturday! Dust off the neon, dig out the one-piece, and bring the retro vibe. The forecast is looking good so come up and join us in the sunshine for slushy laps, tunes, and good times," a resort social media statement reads.
Those who arrive dressed in retro skiwear will get a 20% discount on their day pass at the ticket office. There'll also be prizes for "Best Dressed" and "Rider of the Day".
Cairngorm is celebrating one of its best seasons of the 21st century, having maintained snow cover for five months, since late November. It's also the first full season with its key funicular back in action after six years of full or partial closures for repairs.
A second Scottish ski area, Glencoe, has closed its lift-served in-bounds skiing but says it plans to maintain a snow sledging run with its two all-weather snowmaking machines through the May Day bank holiday, as well as its ski touring access chair which tourers can use to quickly access remaining high altitude snow.
