Mr Johansson had wanted his own snowmobile since he was three years old but it wasn't until he was 14 that he could afford his own.
Known in the snowmobile and sledding community as a daredevil, Mr Johansson has previously used his snowmobile to drive upstream on the surface of a river.
He told Scott Sports: 'I grew up on a small farm in northern Sweden and snowmobiles were used in the daily work during winter months'.
He now gives snowmobile tours in Whistler for other riders who are keen to go on an adventure.
The Whistler mountain range is home to Blackcomb mountain, which has a peak of 7,992 feet.
While there isn't a record of the biggest drop done by a snowmobile, the furthest jump is a whopping 361 feet.
