Every hard-drug user is addicted. I guess the same applies to snowboarders, but in a different way. To me, the feeling of shredding deep powder is better than any high you can get artificially. And yes- I was addicted after my very first powder turn. I'm pretty sure it goes the same way for every snowboarder on the planet. Riding deep pow gives you that special feeling; it's like your eyes are blind, but you can see.
