Pillow lines, deep powder, and the ever present danger of an avalanche coming down around you is what you thrive on. You've probably got one of the sickest snowmobiles around, or are bound to get one, and constantly dream of heli-boarding (or maybe you're actually doing it if you're rolling in the dough)!
