Every skier and snowboarder has daydreamed about it at some point. What if we had powers that made riding the mountain effortless, limitless, or just plain fun? Whether it is floating over bottomless powder, avoiding injuries, or teleporting to first tracks, the possibilities are endless.
We asked riders what their dream powers would be. These are the seven most popular answers, and they might just spark your imagination the next time you are on the lift.
7. Endless Money for Skiing and Snowboarding

Let’s be real. Skiing is expensive. Gear, lift tickets, travel, and lodging all add up. A superpower that erases financial stress would open the sport to everyone. With unlimited resources, riders could chase storms, upgrade to top-of-the-line equipment, and never worry about their wallet while enjoying the mountains.
6. Mastery of Freestyle Skills

Imagine perfect balance, flawless spins, and stomping every landing. Freestyle super-skills would turn any skier or snowboarder into a park legend. Massive jumps, stylish grabs, and technical rails would look effortless, whether in the terrain park or deep in the backcountry.
5. Empty Slopes

No crowds, no lift lines, just wide-open runs. This superpower would clear the slopes so every descent feels like a private resort. Endless fresh tracks and uninterrupted carving would make the experience pure, peaceful, and unforgettable.
4. Never Getting Injured

Crashes are part of the sport, but what if they never hurt? The ability to ride without fear of injury would give skiers and snowboarders unlimited confidence. Big cliffs, sketchy chutes, or giant park features would all be within reach, knowing a fall would not mean broken bones or time away from snow.
3. Control Over Snow Conditions

Powder days on demand. Perfectly groomed corduroy every morning. No more ice, slush, or hardpack. The ability to summon ideal conditions would make every day on the mountain a dream day.
2. Unlimited Energy and Youth

Leg burn is real, and aging only makes it harder. With this power, riders would never get tired and could ski or board sunrise to sunset every day. Staying young would mean endless seasons of progression, strong joints, and sharp reflexes, no matter how many years pass.
1. Teleportation

Teleportation is the ultimate dream. No more crowded highways or expensive flights. Riders could appear instantly at any mountain in the world, drop straight onto untouched lines, and ride for free without waiting in a single lift line. First tracks would always be yours.
Closing Thoughts
These powers might never become reality, but the dream reflects what we all love about skiing and snowboarding, freedom, creativity, and adventure. While we cannot teleport or summon powder storms, we can find ways to make riding more connected and fun.
Bottom line: that is exactly where Shredder comes in. From tracking your days to finding new partners and sharing the stoke, Shredder helps bring the mountain community together. The real superpower might just be staying connected while you ride.
