SINGLES are invited to take to the slopes of Aonach Mor for a day of falling in the snow, which may eventually lead to them falling in love.
The Nevis Range ski resort has introduced a Ski Single day, which will run on St Valentine’s Day (Monday 14 February 2011).
Aimed at singles who have never skied before, the full day will include a morning lesson followed by a complimentary Valentine’s Day lunch in the Snowgoose restaurant and bar.
The afternoon is then left free for couples to continue to play around on the slopes and at the end of the day, a mug of hot chocolate will be waiting for them in the bar.
Heather Negus, marketing manager, said: “Skiing and boarding are extremely sociable activities.
“Many of our customers are couples and families and we also get a large number of groups of friends who make regular trips to the slopes.
“At the end of the day, the Snowgoose restaurant and bar on the slopes can be jam-packed with skiers and boarders rounding off a perfect day with stories of big jumps, wipeouts, extremes of speed and, of course, technique on the slopes over a mug of glühwein.”
Dr Niall G MacFarlane, Glasgow University, explained: “The idea of excitement/fear being related to developing emotional attachments or love has been about for a long time.
“The classic studies in this area showed that a young woman became twice as attractive to men under conditions that we might now describe as being ‘extreme sports’ – they were on rope bridges.”
He continued: “So you might say that the excitement of skiing – whether that means a novice on a nursery slope or an experienced skier going off piste – has the potential to make us more attractive to possible suitors; while more sedate activities could re-inforce ‘that loving feeling’ in established relationships.”
Davie Austin, head of Snowsports School, warned: “Singles should remember that clothing should be warm and waterproof, rather than slinky or suggestive. After all, the lesson will be taking place in a snowy mountain environment!”
And to top it all, the resort is about to launch its wedding package in the spring of 2011, so any couples who meet on the slopes will find themselves in a strong position to negotiate a great deal!
