Marking 30 years of adventure at Nevis Range
Hundreds of locals and visitors are expected to flock to the Nevis Range Mountain Experience, near Fort William, later this month to help celebrate its 30th anniversary celebrations.
During the day – Saturday, December 21 – all visitors can ski or snowboard, or take a gondola, for the same price as it was three decades ago in 1989.
The fun-packed celebrations will continue from 5pm until midnight with an actionfilled programme of free entertainment in a heated marquee next to the gondola base station.
The celebrations will include Celtic fire dancers, PyroCeltica, inspirational and informative talks from Nevis Range legends, a ceilidh with A’hooligan and The Gary Innes Band, local food and drink and loads of fantastic prizes and unique Nevis Range giveaways.
Running all day and night there will be a competition for the best dressed person wearing ski kit and / or apres ski kit from 1989, with the prize of a much-coveted 10year snowsports season pass for Nevis Range.
Chris O’Brien, CEO of Nevis Range, commented: ‘To be celebrating 30 years of the Nevis Range Mountain Experience is an incredible feeling, especially considering that this anniversary comes at such an exciting time.
‘On the night. Ian “Spike” Sykes and Ian “Suds” Sutherland will be telling us all about the early days and history of Nevis Range, while Mike Jardine and Lesley Beck will give us the fascinating story of the UCI MTB World Cup.
‘There’ll be plenty more guests, surprises and giveaways on the night as well as bands and even the fire dancers from PyroCeltica.
‘I hope we’ll see a huge turnout to join us all in a 30th birthday to remember!’
Nevis Range will be laying on a free shuttle bus service from Fort William and Corpach to transport party goers to and from the venue where celebrations will resume from 5pm to midnight.
