There are floodlights – with metal halide, LED or magnetic induction lamps – along the piste which allow for better visibility.

[2] Night skiing offers reduced price access versus daylight hours.

Starting in 1997 Planai in Austria has held a World Cup slalom competition at night.

[7] Processions of skiers holding torches, lanterns or flares while skiing down a slope at night has been a scheduled event of winter festivals such as the Nordic Games since at least 1903.
