Term
Pillow
A rounded snow-covered natural feature, often part of a series.
GLOSSARY · Terrain, snow & environment
Pillows form when snow settles over rocks, stumps or boulders, creating soft rounded mounds. Riders drop between and off them in pillow lines, landing in the deep snow below.
Context and distinction
Pillows are natural snow-covered features; rollers are rises in the slope itself. Pillows often hide rock close to the surface.
