Last thursday I headed up to Baker with my friends Tess and Brian to see about skiing under a full moon. An unexpectedly large inversion resulted in us skiing corny snow in ~40 degree windless weather. It was quite quite surreal, and made for some great photo-ops. We skied the usual chute that starts at the saddle near the top, and though it was totally tracked out before we got there, it was still a fun run by moonlight.
There are a few more photos on my own website here.

Most of the exposures were around 30s to allow time for the skiers to move through the frame and leave light trails. Often that much time wasn't required to properly expose the photo though... plenty of light on a full moon night.
Glad you guys like the photos!

Way cool. Glad you found cornish snow - under the moon! I still remember my first moon ski on St. Helens mabey 20yrs ago. I try every winter full moon, and get clear skies maybe once every other winter. I've given up finding powder pockets.
Pics were taken w/ a tripod? Monopod? The headlamp traces realy make the shots!

JH - I brought a tripod up that night, there was no way I could hand hold a camera for that long
Chimneyboy - HAHAHA
As for full-rez, I probably won't post them, both because they take up a ton of server space and slow down load times wherever they're poster, BUT, if anyone wants a full-rez version for a desktop background or whatever, I'd be happy to email one. PM me if interested.

Yeah, the long exposure shots didn't really do it justice though 
Sam - looking forward to getting out on one of your "bad ideas" that is actually bad one of these days!
