Rent some cross country gear from Bill at Glenmore - go for a x country ski around the forest at loch Morlich.

manicpb, go fishing. Tackle shop in Boat (or at least there was 25 years ago). Or there's the fishery on the ski rd Aviemore. Or go clay shooting (further up the ski rd). Or, like someone else said, go for a langlauf/walk around somewhere picturesque. Actually, on second thoughts... pub.

Or swimming at the pool at the MacDonald resort - pretty expensive as I recall, but another option.

X country ski, skin up the hills (gear for hire in Aviemore) & some nice easy terrain over Dava way if u don't wanna go into the mountains, head over to the Highland Wildlife Park or Landmark or, if open, clay pigeon shooting, fishing, the Highland Folk Museum (you could also take a moody snowy walk round Ruthven barracks and admire the views of the hills), watch a film in Aviemore or head to Inverness and go to the multiplex and do some shopping or maybe go to the theatre ... hell, there's loads to do, just ask at the Tourist Info in Aviemore for more ideas and grab a What's On guide.
BTW, the place to go for a swim is the Dalfaber Country Club pool not the McDonald rip-off place.
Never mind, should be epic tomorrow! 
How's the place in Boat by the way?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

That is exactly what we did yesterday (Sunday) when Cairngorm was closed. Well worth it, something I haven't done for 30 years and the prepared tracks through the forests were great. Well done Bill.
Glad to have some pics of the ski-ing to remind us ...long after the memories of the 13 hour drive back from Aviemore to N Yorks via Dundee are forgotten

get online a give out STINK about them not being open!!
all good suggestions above, you could also come round to mine and help dig the wife's car out??
the Cairn is the place to be on a snowy afternoon, all the local old heads will be in having their half & halfs ranting and raving about something or other, great value!

manicpb, get down to the Old Bridge Inn for a meal. Superb food and drink. Other than that; chill out, browse Ellis Brigahms, drool over the Norrona ski gear at Mountain Spirit, or as other have said skin up or walk round Loch Morlich
