Night snowboarding usually equates to grueling pre-dawn slogs up backcountry routes or short, icy turns under stadium-like lights at small resorts. Nowness.com has put a new spin on those traditional forms of night riding. In this stunning piece of film, a unique LED suit is employed to turn the subject into a powder-slashing apparition.
Nowness describes itself as "the digital leader in luxury storytelling," explaining that it attempts to convey inspiring stories of contemporary culture and lifestyle across many genres.

Now this is really cool! Beautiful and so tranquil in slo mo. Thanks, Eideard!
Absolutely mesmerizing. That was great! I’m going to watch it again now… Two cyber-thumbs WAY up!
Isn’t it? Love it.
SCORE! Burning Man meets the slopes. Luckily almost every resort in Canada has night skiing, and a small one here at Donner Pass does as well. Just don’t stray past the out of bounds on the latter. Don’t want to be on some hungry boarder’s dinner menu.
Totally rad video dude!
Dude! (dudette!)
Surreal and hypnotic. I wouldn’t have known it was real if you hadn’t explained it.
Excellent description! It is very surreal and hypnotic. And the slo mo is what topped it off!
