What would your dream line be if you were in skiing big mountain/backcountry.

20 foot Cornice - Switch 180 safety
Long Pillow Line - Faceshots!
Double Stager - 30 foot cliff to Land to 180 to 20 foot cliff
Stepped out cornice - Rodeo 720 japan
50 foot Booter - Cork 720 tail

I could go on for days imagining new lines and how I would slay them!

Heli drop on a high AK ridge, 4 feet of fresh, big bag of green, bitches/studs in the heli stoking you out.
From the drop point, you jump out in snowshoes because there is so much powder, sketchily go from snowshoes to skis without falling into the endless pow.
DROP into a deep flat face, straightline to falling leaf. Come up on that ridge, scoop deep to one side, turn uphill and go back up it, airing off to switch on the other side. Get some good "ass shots" on a switch beeline. Spot out a 15 foot cliff with a smooth landing, swBackflip 180 to forward ride.
Pillow line comes up: 540, switch 3, switch straightair twice in a row, switch one to forward.
Ride the fuck out, deep carves, meet up at the heli and watch Sage double over in delight and envy

Start on the very peak of a mountain with one or two friends to share the experience. Get some high speed turns going down a sunlit face  and catch  a few airs. 5,000 feet later start entering some trees with 3 feet of light pow and cruising among perfectly spaced trees with pillows and just small drops to keep up your speed. Then finish it off with a 80 foot drop onto plenty of snow and wait for some friends to dig you out. Then repeat.

Face deep pow in Japan, with trees, throw in a few pillows and drops.

Or some perfect insanely steep open face with no cliffs or bumps that I could just charge down on some Dynastar XXL's.
