Two full body LED ski suits were part of a stunning video shot on snow covered Canadian mountains. The video was a collaboration between Swedish ad agency Ahlstrand & Wållgren and Philips TV, to promote Philips ambilight TV’s and was a massive undertaking. The whole mountain was lit in various colours, with the skiers a sharp focal point cutting their way down the mountain.

The details of the ski suits are that thousands of LED’s were sewn onto Patagonia and Arc’Teryx skiwear. It used a “candy bar” sized battery pack and required wires to be occasionally re-soldered or replaced as the energetic skiing activities took there toll.
