Ok, I've compiled all the ski games I have on my computer into one Mega-Pack for all your guy's summer boredom. I'm also listing all the ones I know of that you can play online, cause I know work can get boring sometimes. Here are all the ones I know of for the PC. Some might work on the mac, but I wouldnt know, so good luck. Note; you will need some way of extracting these files, as they are compressed. Use such things as winzip or winrar for the PC, all have free trials.
Included is:
DNA Spin: DNA Underground 3, the best version I know of thats released. 3-D movements on two possible axis allow you to do most corks and d-spins, but no lincolns or true rodeos. Shame. Still, lots of fun. Use any combo of zxcv to grab, and hold spacebar and the arrow keys to charge up a spin. This game is somewhat taxing on most computers, so if it crashes, or freezes, close all browser windows and load it again.
Ski Stunt Simulator: The full version, multi-language. This is a great physics based 2-D ski game, and I have definently wasted over 100 hours on this, at least. This sometimes can hang up, which gets annoying. If you notice that your skier is frozen at the start, STOP! Dont hit space, hit esc and restart, it saves you from force quitting it when it completely freezes.
Ski Free: Version 1.04, also the best I know of. Instant classic from my chidlhood. Use the arrow keys to turn (duh), and also to do spins and flips off jumps. And no, you cant land switch, but feel free to certianly try.
Rekker's Ski Game Pack:

To use Megaupload: (For all those that click and feel confused)
This
is a file hosting site, but it has to make money, so it has ads. Click
on the link and a big ad might or not come up. Click "continue on to
megauload' when you find it (look to the upper right). Then there might be another add over the
download button. Click the "X" on that and then you will see the download thingy. You have to enter a three digit code to validate your download session, and depending on how popular the file is, you might have to wait while a clock counts down from 45 seconds or so. Click "download" and it should go. If this file ever is dropped, just PM me and I'll rehost it, no matter how old this thread gets.
Ok, now for links.
Jibberish: I didnt include this in the pack because there is an official website that will have more updated versions of this game that will outpace this thread. Check out the site for updates, more levels and new skis, clothing, etc. You can download the most current version (Jibberish Delux) right here:

Ski Stunt Simulator (Java): Great to play at work, this online version doesnt have the class or detail that the full does. However, it does have some wickedly fun levels. Choose based on your comptuer speed and play!

The TGR Ski Game: Really not connected to the company in any way, this was posted in the TGR forums and becaume popular on NS a few years ago. It was revived, became popular again, and promptly crashed this poor guys server. Shame on you all. The list of levels was taken out when the server was reset, so here are the one's I can remember, although I know there were more. Post them if you have them, it would be much appriciated.

The Miniclip Ski Jump Game: Another online one. This one takes more skill than I can muster, and I usually just land on my face and snowball. Release with space and use the arrow keys to try and rotate and land something.

And feel free to add to this, more ski games are always a good thing.
