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

Spin speed seems to be slowed down by a lot for keyboard controls. Fast spin seems to be the same but slow spins are just way too slow...

You can praise the Steam cloud that you can redownload it after you have the Steam Client on your desktop.

Has anyone made a video of multiplayer gameplay? I'm curious.

I wouldn't make a vid, but I'd love to take some screen shots. Sadly, I couldn't find a way to join a lobby. Either that, or there no one was hosting a session.

When I push the Settings button the game crashes.

Other than that, everything else is excellent so far!

I have basically a brand new laptop and playing the game is super slow. I barely have any files on my computer too. Can someone tell me why this is happening?

Mutliplayer is in its most basic form at the moment. The only way to join a lobby is by being invited/joining a friend through the Steam Overlay or by typing "Connect [IP ADDRESS]" into the console.

I just got the game but it's like laggy out of this world, would it be my computer, or the fact that it is a new game

Ok when I said hardware I meant PC specs...Sorry I should have specified.
So tell me what you have for a CPU, how much RAM and Graphics card.

If your computer can run it yep. There is a bit of a learning curve but to me that was part of the fun. POV mode is also incredibly fun once you get good at it.

I recommend avoiding the space bar and using the up and down arrows for loading and popping. Seems clunky at first but its actually way smoother than the space bar at the moment (once you get used to it that is). Although I have found the space bar is good in situations where you need to pop quick like on pillow lines.

we NEED f**king session markers. They would literally be the best, cos even after a few months, it's still super hard to land the tricks you initially tried to do (like doing a gd looking ro5 takes a lot of time). it's just such a pain having to restart the run every time you get down to the end of the jump line when you're just trying to get better...and i'm not even talking about rails, sessionning them should definitely be an option.

Is this next on the list?
If not may I ask why not?


we neeedz it!! Other than that sick, still a bit of tweaking for the rotations but can't wait for multiplayer servers :)

Word.

Also since the last update I have been unable to play!! The game gets stuck on the poppermost productions screen, it's been quite tempermental for me the whole time, like 1/4 startups it would just crash. :(
Please fix this while you guys are doing session markers.
PS i already sent a couple emails to no avail :/

I'm still experiencing freezing and crashing around the park only. I've tried to enter it from tons of different angles. It's like there's a bubble around the zone that causes it to crash. Is anybody else experiencing this? Haven't been able to use the park since maybe the first month of release now.

Half the buttons don't seem to work, especially the arrows in the store (can't scroll past hats), I also can't seem to figure out how to get past the first 9 items when more are listed.

The buttons that do work only seem to only work when the cursor is above the buttons by an inch or so (this is for every button in the game) and the exit/ quit button text isn't showing up but works when clicked on.

I'm running on high everything at 1440x 1050.
