Macmillan Cancer Support Day at Glenshee
Published : 19-Feb-2014 09:10
With Scottish ski areas reporting record business, and record snow cover, it seems a good time to stage a special fund raising day for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Being billed as the biggest day ion the Scottish snowsports calendar, the event, at Glenshee ski area on Saturday 8th March (or on the 9th if the weather is bad) will see a full day of events with Alain Baxter, famously Britain's first ever snowsports Olympic medal winner, the special guest skier.
So far on the agenda for the day is the chance to demo next season's equipment with many brands, including Dynastar, Rossignol and Nordica due to be represented; a ski-in-style competition open to all comers ("no timing, no gates, just ski"), a dual slalom contest; and Disability Snowsport UK will be on the slopes demonstrating their skills, as will Braemar Mountain Rescue team.
Fun events include a sniff-the-whisky-cask-and-guess-the-whisky competition and there'll be a 'whackiest dressed skier/boarder' contest.
There will also be a grand auction of ski equipment to raise funds for Macmillan.
