1. Powder skiing Pillow lines, spines, and stuff

2. Pillow lines Pillow lines are when snow piles up on things in a line and is a line of little drops When you ski pillows you drop down from pillow to pillow and have a great time

3. Spine skiing What are spines? Spines are when snow on a steep slope and forms in ridges. You can only find spine lines in special places Alaska is one of the places. Spine skiing is super dangerous because of how steep it is.

4. Backcountry skiing Back country skiing is when you go skinning up the hill out of the boundaries of a ski hill or just up a mountain Why would anyone do that? Because the snow out of bounds is fresh longer because less people go and there is a bigger area to ski.

5. booters Booters are backcountry jumps into powder. They are always really big because of the soft landing. They are a great place to learn new tricks Booters are built by the skier either from scratch of off a natural object
