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

you're obviously affiliated with the project, why don't you let actual hype build instead of trying to manufacture it under the guise of just being a super fan. You have 12 posts, and what do you know? They're all in this thread, right after the developers post! I hate transparent attempts like this.

Let's be real here though, no game is going to look incredible in its first stage. Think back to madden 2002, It looked, to our standards now, unrealistic, and it took a talented team at EA to change that through years. If this game comes out, it'll probably take twenty years for these guys, If they even want to work on this project for that long, to make this the game everyone one here dreamed of. Realistically I'd be happy if the creators of shaun White snowboarding just made a skier, and put him in the game. How hard could that be?

Unfortunately as CryENGINE does not work on Mac, it's out of our hands.

I wouldn't waste time and effort making a video game for mac either considering they're only 7 or 8% of the personal computer market.

Even if that figure is correct, what percentage of 12-30 yr old males (especially skiers and the type) have macs? I would say much more than 7 or 8%. The market for this game is not aimed at the entire personal computer market but a much smaller market of skiers and snowboarders, which has a much higher percentage of mac users than the entire computer market as a whole.
