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 think it would be awesome to have a course designer with it... Definitely has potential

good if they did that game right with actual mountains and made it like a simulation (not total sim like add some fun elements) but that has sooooo much potential to have a good engine, good graphics, and actual real mountain trails to ski on. like if they put whistler, jackson, alta etc. in there that would be soooooo sick and it would prolly sell decently too i bet that would be a pretty hard project though

they just need to have the people who make like COD make a game like this... then it will be way more legit, better graffics, but i would buy any ski game if it wasnt gay lol

hahahahahahaha if this is made with cryengine3, this is the worst looking use of it ever

also for anyone that asks why this or jiblife won't be on consoles, do you know how much work/money it takes to get a game published?

JIBLIFE IS RUINED!

BUT MY FEEDBACK WOULD BE TO PUT SOME PARK IN THERE, I ENJOY PARK.

it needs park, i'm not complaining, but to accurately portray the skiing lifestyle that newschoolers want it needs to exemplify more than one aspect of skiing.

I was just about to make a thread about this. Looks pretty damn cool. Appeals to me way more than an "Urban Sessions" game. Graphics look a lil sloppy right now, but at least they have a gameplay vid. this concept is the ski game that i wanna play. some park would be cool too...buuuuut i would much rather huck virtual cliffs.

Someone seriously needs to take Amped 2 and make it so that they're skiers.

Unless you're a massive fan of doing triples off everything that game is terrible.

Also, it's available on mac as well, shame it still sucks shit.

I was checking out their Facebook page and it seems like the game will have BOTH a snow park and back country free ride.

The best of both worlds!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SOME SNOOOW

I hope they include a park in the first release, didn't see any in the trailer. Wish the developers could get on here and answer some questions. like what is the plan for multiplayer
