That's the plot of this rather obscure game by Creator/RadicalEntertainment, released in 2001 for UsefulNotes/PS2[=/=]UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} and 2002 for UsefulNotes/NintendoGamecube, and which combines snowboarding with adventure. You're not just snowboarding for the sake of it, you're trying to stop The Man!

* StaticRoleExchangableCharacter: Beating the game with Naya unlocks the ability to replay the game with all the other operatives with that operative taking Naya's place in the story. Oddly, Naya doesn't fill in for their respective missions so you end up with double of your character instead.

* Acrofatic: Chief O'Leary may be an absolute unrepentant FatBastard, but don't think this means he's not qualified for the job. Best exemplified in one of the later missions where you have to race him to base camp. Even with you grinding rails, jumping chasms and shredding as hard as you can because your life literally depends on it, he's never any farther than just off-screen and he WILL overtake you and leave you in the dust if you make too many mistakes. If multiplayer is anything to go by, he's also pretty skilled at snowboarding when the situation strikes.

* BonusFeatureFailure: Unlocking the other operatives can be a bit of a letdown since they each have to restart the story from scratch, re-unlock all the special moves and lack any extra costumes or boards like Naya had. On the bright side [[NewGamePlus their default gear is equivalent to Naya's best gear right out the starting gate, making earlier missions a lot easier.]]
* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: The sequence of unlocking different gear for your outfits typically goes "Eyeware>Music Player>Eyeware and Music Player" before unlocking the next outfit.



* FatBastard: Chief O' Leary. In fact one of the early missions involves wrecking his lunch, which consisted mainly of a whole chicken roughly half the size of Naya.

* NotSoAboveItAll: In the head-to-head versus mode, in addition to the five operatives, you can also play as Hans, Rachel, O'Leary, Dick and even some Slow Patrol mooks...all riding snowboards just as easily as anyone else.
