Cairngorm Mountain has announced that it will be will be opening for floodlit evening skiing and snowboarding in the Ptarmigan Bowl on Thursday.
The slopes will be lit up from 4pm until 8pm to enable visitors to make the most of the snow conditions.
Customers who have bought a full or half day ticket already can just keep on skiing. If they arrive after 4pm, tickets for the evening’s skiing and snowboarding will be £9.95.
And to keep them going, the Ptarmigan Restaurant and Bar at the top station will be open late.
There will be music on the mountain and the Red Bull Wings team will also be doing some sampling.
Visitors will be able to meet Moudy the search and rescue dog and his handler David Benson outside the Ptarmigan Top Station and hear about how he goes about his work.
The demonstrations will be tomorrow between 11.30am and 1.30pm and also on Friday.
On Sunday (February 19) the first Roxy Girls Shred Day is being run at CairnGorm in conjunction with the CairnGorm Snowboard Club and Snowsport Scotland.
This day will provide an opportunity for female boarders to broaden their snowsports skills and take advantage of CairnGorm’s current freestyle setup with the "mini shreds" providing an ideal learning zone.
Over 60 people have already registered to take part in this day for which participants need to register in the T bar at CairnGorm between 8.30am and 9.30am and the cost is £10.
CairnGorm Mountain’s marketing manager Colin Kirkwood said: "It is several years since we were able to provide floodlit snowsports.
"We are delighted to be able to offer our half term customers the opportunity for a longer day’s skiing by floodlighting the Ptarmigan bowl as well as an opportunity for people who live locally to come and ski or board after work.
"With the Ptarmigan bar and restaurant open late as well there should be a great atmosphere on the hill.
"We are also looking forward to hosting the Roxy Girls Shred Day on Sunday which has already attracted lots of interest."
