Curated by Snowcomparison.com. Originally published by National Geographic on April 16th, 2016. 

Watch Greg Tuscher and Nicolas Vuignier as they ski and snowboard at night in Wallis, Switzerland, with lit rescue flares attached to the back of their equipment. The sparks illuminate the mountainside and cast ephemeral shadows of the riders.

Produced by Nicolas Vuignier and Jules Guarneri
