Agreed, headlamps are the way to go; however, they do not throw out ample light to say..........ski tour your local hill and then ski down--a practice I like to engage in. What I have found that works best for "night time" ski touring, is using my mtb nightrider digital headtrip helmet light and adding the headband to use it like a standard headlamp. The nightrider throws out about 15 w Halogen beam and it adds a lot more light than a BD or Princeton Tech. A bit more pricey than a standard headlamp, but really a lot more light and hence function. Check it out.
