White reflects light very very well. When light is reflected off of a very neon color base, that color is also reflected very well. The snow is basically acting like a mirror... only not nearly as well.

^Base glow is when the snow reflects off the neon bases. It wouldn't work at night

Do people seriously not see the problem with installing lights in the bases of your skis? I can't tell if you're all joking or if the world has gone batshit insane.

get those rope light things (they're waterproof too) and find some way to battery operate them, then run them around the outside of the topsheet.

If u started from scratch making the skis u could install fiber optic lighting to ur bases only problem is a battery source and mount point

they make battery powered ones and i guess a nine-volt battery or 2 double A's(can't remember) keep them going for a while. some people use them on christmas trees and they last most of the time they have them up.
