**More than 500 skiers and snowboarders are expected to take part in an attempt to set the world record for the most people in kilts going down a piste.**CairnGorm Mountain, near Aviemore, hoped to get the participants to ski down in a line from the Ptarmigan Top Station.
Money raised from the event will go to charity and also a schools skiing programme.
Intermediate and advanced level skiers were sought for the attempt.
The record bid comes during the best ski season in Scotland since 2001, according to Ski-Scotland.
More snow has been forecast, meaning the season could last through to May.
