Check it out: www.snowthegame.com

SNOW is the first true freeride and freestyle game for skiers and snowboarders. Based on the free-to-play model, SNOW looks to restart the winter sports genre taking the player back to basics refining scale, physics and controls to capture the majesty of the mountain. SNOW is a game for riders, by riders.

SNOW will be released for free later this year and developed according to feedback from the community.

Here's the trailer: http://vimeo.com/29075248

I agree.  Blackbox/EA.. the physics in the skate series is un-matchable...   that work put into a ski game.....     all you fuckers have no idea how sick it would be.

You don't have to do triples off of everything? And you can't even do them off of everything? Your life sucks shit.

omg!

"Right now our current mountain is roughly 4000m tall and has an 8km diameter."

That's crazy! That's like a real mountain. This game keeps sounding better and better!

great. another game that won't be mac compatible. hopefully there is a miracle that puts it on the consoles. do these companies not realize a pretty good percentage of younger people own macs these days?

Hey guys...

READ DIS.

"In all art you do what you know, and I've skied and snowboarded all my life, so I'm very familiar with it. The feeling of being on snow, and the whole off piste and free riding aspect, being in slightly dangerous areas. I feel like that has really helped us in getting the right idea, and knowing what our audience wants. We've been doing research online, and when SSX was announced, there was a lot of feedback saying "Why won't you do something like Skate?". We saw that, people really do want something that we wanted, so that really motivated us to get things going."

The new screenshots do look incredibly sick... if they can make realistic powder physics (which cryengine is definitely capable of) this has alot of potential

SSX on tour for ps2 is still the best game to date for any console its such a shame we have nothing to cure the urge to ski someone needs to step up with a quality game with realistic clothing and "trickery "
