VIDEO: Afterglow: Night skiing at Alyeska

Four friends got together after college in 2008 to start Sweetgrass Productions, an adventure cinematography outfit that has produced a number of award winning films, including Valhalla (2013). For this latest effort, Afterglow, Sweetgrass was hired by a Swedish creative agency to produce a night skiing segment for the electronic company Phillips. Filmed in a little over three weeks, Afterglow features a night ski segment shot at Alyeska Resort in Girdwood, Alaska. The most surreal scenes are during the LED night ski where skiers wear LED backpacks or light suits, and the effect is mesmerizing.
