Shot by photographer and filmmaker Jacob Sutton in the Rhône-Alpes region of south-eastern France, the video features pro snowboarder William Hughes carving powder at night, whilst wearing a custom LED suit. Sutton explains to Nowness:

"I've always been excited by unusual ways of lighting things, so it seemed like an exciting idea to make the subject of the film the only light source."

Man,if I saw that coming down the mountain I might really start believing in ghosts.Nice idea but I thiught pretty boring video.I was waiting to see more than one turn to spray some powder.That would make a great "torchlight" parade substitute.

That would make a good Torchlight substitute, good thinking! It's more of an "artsy" video than a real shred, but still kinda cool I thought.
