Watching Professional skier Mathieu Bijasson hit a line with LED illuminated skis and poles in the darkness of night is hypnotic. Yeah, it’s been done before, and might be kind of a yearly thing. But Mathieu is kinda throwin’ down (the double backy at 1:50 is pretty insane), and the green tinge he uses is other-worldly as he gives er’ a serious send, illuminating only that within his immediate vicinity.
According to PVS Company,the production outfit Mathieu works with, his version isn’t just a clever way to avoid the crowds either, it’s symbolic. “Moon Line is a project (that) focuses on his new outlook on life,” says PVS. “With the arrival of his daughter and his new role as a father, Mathieu takes this passion and love for life and rethinks his approach to night freeskiing.”
It’s working. The short has over 35,000 views on Vimeo, was a Staff Pick and has won numerous awards at festivals around the world.
