If you haven't seen this video yet - then you simply have to take a look. Tignes is synonymous with doing things first and doing them differently and this great little edit is yet more proof of that.

Last year fashion photographer and filmmaker Jacob Sutton created this beautiful short film featuring pro snowboarder William Hughes riding the Tignes powder wearing a bespoke LED-enveloped suit. Hughes's remarkable gear was the brain child of designer and electronics expert John Spatcher.

If you've not seen it already, take a moment out of your busy day to watch this incredible video.
