The Scottish certainly know how to celebrate in style. In honor of the best ski season in Scotland since 2001, over 200 skiers and snowboarders headed over to CairnGorm Mountain for a record-breaking run.

What, you might ask, made this run so memorable? All 235 intermediate-to-advanced skiers and snowboarders were dressed in kilts. CairnGorm Mountain spokesperson Colin Kirkwood said:

“It was an impressive sight and we wanted to do something to celebrate the great ski season we’ve been having and do something which could involve the public.”

Money raised at the event will benefit a local school skiing program.
