DRESSED in LED-covered suits, pro-boarders Steve Gruber and Chris Kröll gave a spectacular display descending to the punchy sounds of Bassjackers ‘Can't take it’ from Spinnin Records.

The pair launched the Snowbombing music and winter sports festival in style and let the crowds know  that après-ski had begun.

The boarders not only notified the festival goers that the slopes were closed for the day, but proved that a good party can be taken anywhere (even 8,497ft above sea level).

With an LED perimeter line-light, strobe flash and speaker light that synchronises with the rhythm of the beat, the boarders had a captivated audience as they lit up the mountain with their incredible routine.

What’s more, the  on the speakers meant that no one missed the start of the party.

Klaus Müller, aged 21 from Austria is at and saw the display, said “I’ve never experienced anything quite like it – I heard the music coming down the mountain first, and then saw the two illuminated boarders.

Their suits were awesome and meant we could all see them performing tricks as they made their way down, while the speakers flashed in time to the beat of the music which really brought the tunes to life. It was definitely a great way to set the scene for our first big night.”
