You may remember this sweet Snow Surfer video that Jacob Sutton created back in 2012. Well, now it’s the skiers turn to shred the powder in ethereal LED glowing suits.

This is even what I wrote back in 2012:

“The film is haunting.  I like to imagine this is what snowboarding in the future will look like — sculpture in motion.  I hope a skiing video is soon to follow.”

Well, thank you Philips TV and Atomic Skis for making my wish a reality.

From the creators:

“From the depth of the creative visuals to the groundbreaking, never-been-done-before scale of the shoot, Afterglow is being hailed as one of the most cinematically profound ski movies ever made. Deep pillows and Alaskan spines, all filmed at night, with massive lights, custom made LED suits, and a national governments worth of logistics, planning, and civil engineering.”

On October 19th, you can find the full 12 minute video here.
