Magical Ski Runs Under the Night Sky

See these skiers tackle gorgeous snowy slopes after the sun sets.

It’s always invigorating to plow down a snowy run on a pair of skis, but there’s something extra magical about taking on the adventure after the sun goes down. Skiers who hit the slopes at night are often treated to astronomical light shows and quiet moments alone on the mountain. See the allure of this ethereal wintry experience in photographs of under-the-stars runs from our National Geographic Your Shot community.
