We Ski & Snowboard

About

We Ski & Snowboard drops you on slopes across two distinct mountain resorts. Use motion controls with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk or add the Balance Board for a more physical feel. Create custom characters or Miis to represent you as you tackle races, free-ride open terrain, and perform tricks on half-pipes. The game mixes competitive events like slaloms and moguls with lighter fare such as ski school and animal rescue missions. Day, night, and dusk settings change the look of the mountains but not the fun of carving through snow. The Balance Board support stands out as a way to get more involved in the action. Up to four players can join in locally with split-screen, making it a social pick for family game nights. While the Wii’s motion controls handle most actions, the Balance Board adds a layer of tilt-based realism. Released in 2008, it’s a solid entry in the winter sports genre with a focus on accessibility and variety. The inclusion of hazards like avalanches adds some unexpected tension to your descent.
