Bill Gates (#3): West Greenland

Bill Gates shredded some serious powder at Apussuit Adventure Camp, a heli-skiing resort 15 miles outside Maniitsoq, West Greenland. There are no ski lifts in this remote region: One takes a helicopter to the middle of nowhere, and then starts skiing. At the bottom, it's another shuttle to yet another mountain that's surrounded by enormous glaciers. "With six billion people on the planet, it's so appealing to be in a place where only a handful of people have been," says Anders Stenbakken of Destination East Greenland. What's more, Greenland is a paparazzi-free zone. "Given the small populations in Greenland's towns, one can bring their own staff and gallivant around town going completely unnoticed," adds Mads Nordlund of Greenland Tourism.
