THIS HAPPENS DURING THE ANNIVERSARY SEASON

CHANGES MAY OCCUR...

Retro Day – back to the glory days
SATURDAY 14/2 

Get ready for Retro Saturday at Solsi'a – the most colorful and nostalgic day ever! We're blowing away the dust of neon colors, hockey sticks and wooden skis, and inviting you to a day full of memories, laughter and a real retro ski atmosphere.

🎿 1:00 PM - Retro ski race

Find old skis or the very first carving skis from the shed! It's not necessarily about being the fastest – but about looking the coolest. We'll see barbecue suits, pastel-colored bubble jackets, wool headbands and sunglasses that cover half of the face. Bonus points for retro style and a real 80s-90s vibe!

🎉 16:00 - Quiz, Beats & Après ski at Koja Panorama

After the finish line, the party moves into the warmth of Koja Panorama:

• Retro quiz with Richard Thinghaugen – how well do you remember the Melodi Grand Prix from '86, your favorite game from the '90s, or 80s culture in general?

• Après ski with DJ Petter Lavern – known from the country's biggest après ski scenes. He takes over the controls with a hit parade from the 80s and 90s that is guaranteed to get your feet dancing!

DJ Petter Lavern

✨ Pastel bonanza, memories and real mountain atmosphere

Dress retro - drive retro - dance retro. Bring your friends, family and old rivals, and join us for a day that will be a colorful time travel through the 80s and 90s!

We promise a good atmosphere, wide grins – and maybe some new inspiration for the next time you open your wardrobe.

Retro never goes out of style.
