FULL MOON - Night Skiing Without Artificial Light

Night skiing without artificial light: Closing lift stations and the setting sun mark the end of the action for most skiers. Not for Max Kroneck and Jochen Mesle. While ski towns fall asleep they head into the mountains and see them awaking in a new light. The snow starts glistening again. It ́s just the sound of their skis turning in fresh snow that breaks the silence of the full moon night.
"Some of you might have been on a full moon ski tour before. It ́s a really special vibe which is hard to describe when you haven ́t experienced it by yourself. With this movie we wanted to capture that feeling of being out there skiing in a clear full moon night. There is not much that distracts you from the pure beauty of the mountains." - Jochen Mesle
Of course backcountry skiing at night is a challenge, but to shoot it without any artificial light at all was a different story. The team spent nine intense nights shooting and ski touring in the Austrian alps in winter 2019 to create this film.

[@CajunAdrienne]

I'd be nervous about wolves lol! They hunt at night !

[@cwaltzmusic]

You can outrun a wolf on skis specially in deep snow plus you can hit t hem with Ski polesl and depending where the film was shot there may be no wolves in that area so if it was filmed in Colorado or Utah you don't need to worry

[@c.md11]

[@alfredreisenberger2298]

Sensationell

[@johnnykhawand]

What camera settings and lenses are used please?

[@LVVlogs99]

It seems like this movie was filmed during the day but had fake dark effects, right?

[@el-flamingo]

It was done with natural moonlight. Nothing else. Shot over several full moon nights

[@lindabrown6001]
