I've heard its fun.  They do some thing here in Steamboat still where you eat dinner at a cabin up on the mountain and then ski down under the moonlight, that may be a sley ride though haha not sure.

yo kyle, people do it pretty often at alta..last year ive had to stay late doing dishes and shit then cut runs down freshley groomed corduroy under the moonlight...that shits fucking awesome for sure! you should go hit up jon and some of the watsons crew next time we have a legit full moon, usualy they pop some caps and hit up main chute...shits wicked rad.

my moms a groomer and we used to go up with her (my sister and i) and go skiing at night all the time. it was so cool. kinda of scary. but now they aren't allowed to do that anymore:(
but its wicked. especailly if you have friends with sleds.

There is a resort in France that lets you ski under the full moon.  It looks like day.  So sick

skiing grizzly at night seems dangerous with all those abandoned mine shafts and all, but Im sure you guys know your way around there exponentially better than I do. Sounds sick

surfing under a full moon is sick too... but also slightly terrifying.
