SSX creative director Todd Batty said in the latest issue of Edge:
"We had skiing in at the very early days in this SSX, and I was actually one of the advocates; I was pushing that we should have it. That's something that made its first appearance in SSX: ON Tour, but the tough thing about skiing is that every single animation in the entire game would have to be duplicated for characters with skis as opposed to characters on snowboards. If we did skis, it would mean half as many tricks split across skis and snowboards. SSX at its core is a snowboarding game first and foremost."
He continued:
"We'd love to do skis at some point in the future, maybe as DLC or in a follow up version to this one, but that was something we had to let go."
