Very fun, some suggestions:

- The ski lift is fun, gives a little break and immerses

- Off pist is just as clumsy-smooth-clumsy as in real life, fun to explore as well like in real life

- I wish I could get some carving feedback when going really fast

Maybe record some peoples sessions and play them back every now and then, psuedo-multiplier.

More secrets. I went all the way to the right / bottom and the payoff was not good.

Mobile app?

Daily/weekly leaderboards for some tracks that changes



Carving feedback eh? Can you give me some more ideas on that?


Maybe carving is the wrong word, but when I go fast and turn I expect to slide and make snow fly. There should be some effort required to turn, not in a bad way, but in a "I'm drifting!" way. That would be satisfying.


I see. There is a 'skid' where you send some snow flying, you gotta turn hard and exceed some kinda internal max angle between your 'skis' and your desired turn angle. I think that skid logic could be improved. Try turning really fast!


I am aware of this. I am talking about long and slow turns at the highest speed not having any nice feedback like snow or sounds.


Ahh. I can iterate on that, thanks.
