John, if you bump this you are supposed to make some kind of socially redeeming contribution smirk

Pillow lines: skiing fresh snow so deep that it turns big rocks and stumps into giant soft pillows to cushion your skis or board as you float down the hill defying gravity like a frosty Frisbee.

This video documents vacationers searching out pillow lines on a heliski vacation, they look pretty good, but decidedly mortal and give a sense of how challenging this kind of skiing can be:

This entertaining video shows movie star pro skiers crashing pillow lines in the speedy, antigravity mode while throwing in lots of aerial tricks and making it look deceptively easy:
