There are very few sports you can't play at night, thanks to the magic of gigantic stadium floodlights. But if your hunt for fresh powder leads you to the dark side of the mountain after the sun has set, careening down the slopes blind is a terrible idea.
So the ever-innovative folks at Signal Snowboards decided a pair of snowboards upgraded with headlights would be much safer.
Not only do the upgrades let the riders spot untouched powder and hazards like errant trees, they also make for some wonderful nighttime footage as the LED spotlights illuminate the clouds of snow all around them. But just like on the roads, you'll want to save those blinding high beams for when there's no one else on the slopes.
