I wondered if we have any split-boarders in the PH community. It's a bit of an obscure sport at the moment but it seems to be growing fairly quickly. At the moment I only know of one other PHer though. I'm assembling a team for a trip into new areas of Greenland in 2014 and there may be one or two spaces available.

For those who are asking what the hell I'm talking about; a split-board is a snowboard that can be converted into skis (with 'skins' on the underside) for climbing up mountains and then put back together to snowboard down them. Like ski-touring but with snowboards. See also: 'Poor mans' heli'

If not split-boarders per se, then perhaps just free-riders in general?
