We’ve all thought about it. The idea that if we just had a superpower, how much our lives could be enhanced. As skiers and snowboarders, harnessing a superpower could make an immense difference in doing something we already love.

Imagine carving down a mountain with superhuman precision, effortlessly floating over powder, or never feeling the burn in your legs no matter how many runs you take. These are just a few of the things our readers said when we asked them: If you could have one ski or snowboard related superpower, what would it be?

Below are the top seven responses and I believe we can all agree they would be pretty amazing.

#7 Ability to afford the sport 

The ability to afford skiing or snowboarding as a superpower would eliminate one of the biggest barriers to enjoying the sport—its high cost. From lift tickets and gear to travel and lodging, expenses add up quickly, making it inaccessible for many passionate riders. With unlimited financial resources, skiers and snowboarders could chase the best conditions, upgrade to top-tier equipment, and experience the sport to its fullest without worrying about breaking the bank.

#6 To have incredible freestyle skills 

Having incredible freestyle skills as a superpower would let skiers and snowboarders throw the biggest tricks with effortless style, making every jump, spin, and grab look insanely steezy. With perfect balance and air awareness, they could stomp landings every time, no matter how massive the feature. Whether in the park or the backcountry, this superpower would turn any rider into a legend, effortlessly pushing the limits of progression and creativity.

#5 To make the slopes uncrowded 

Being able to clear the slopes of crowds would mean endless fresh tracks, wide-open groomers, and no lift lines, making every run feel like a private resort experience. It would eliminate the frustration of dodging unpredictable riders and waiting in long queues, allowing for more time actually skiing or snowboarding. Plus, with fewer people around, the mountain’s natural beauty and serenity would be even more immersive, turning every session into the ultimate escape.

#4 To never get hurt 

Never getting hurt would be the ultimate superpower for skiers and snowboarders, allowing them to push their limits without fear of injury. It would mean taking on the gnarliest cliffs, biggest jumps, and steepest chutes with total confidence, knowing that even the worst crashes wouldn’t leave a scratch. With no risk of broken bones or torn ligaments, riders could progress faster, ride longer, and truly experience the mountain without hesitation.

#3 Ability to create ideal snow conditions

Having the ability to create ideal snow conditions would mean never dealing with icy patches, slushy afternoons, or disappointing hardpack again. Skiers and snowboarders could summon fresh powder for dreamy bluebird runs or perfectly groomed corduroy for high-speed carving. This superpower would guarantee the best possible ride every day, transforming any mountain into a personal paradise.

#2 To not get tired/stay young

Never getting tired would mean endless runs from first chair to last without burning legs or needing breaks, allowing skiers and snowboarders to push their limits every day. Staying young would keep joints strong, reflexes sharp, and style progressive, ensuring a lifetime of progression without the setbacks of aging. With this superpower, every powder day, park session, and backcountry adventure could be ridden with the same energy, enthusiasm, and invincibility as a teenager, no matter how many seasons pass.

#1 Teleportation 

Teleportation would be the ultimate superpower for skiers and snowboarders, allowing instant access to the best snow conditions anywhere in the world without the hassle of long drives, flights, or lift lines. You could drop into untouched backcountry lines, hit first tracks every morning, and never waste time hiking or traversing across flat terrain. Plus, no more expensive lift tickets—just teleport straight to the top and ride all day for free.

In the end, whether you’re carving down steep chutes or launching off massive park jumps, the right superpowers could take your skiing or snowboarding to legendary levels. From teleportation for endless fresh tracks to perfect balance and cat-like reflexes for nailing every trick, these abilities would redefine what’s possible on the mountain. But while we can only dream of superhuman skills, the real magic lies in pushing our limits, embracing the adventure, and enjoying every moment on the snow. After all, the best superpower of all might just be the passion that keeps us coming back for more.
