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

Just saw this on their Facebook Page:

http://snowthegame.com/2013/09/24/brand-partnerships/

"We have partnered with some of the biggest brands in the world! SCOTT Sports, Faction Skis, Full Tilt Boots, K2 Skis, Line Skis, Marker Bindings, POC SAUNA beanies & wear, VÖLKL and Armada Skis"

From these images, it does look like some of the skis are mounted a huge amount back from centre and others closer. Does this mean we can chose where to mount our skis in the game? And will this effect performance, similar to real life?

The character needs some changes, make the knees bend more. In the current gameplay thats been released they look way to straight.

all of those pics look soo sweet!!! non of the skis are mounted dead center tho...Will different skis affect the gameplay that much? like more flex on al dente than on stiffer skis or is that way too far ahead?

why? Plug an hdmi cable from your computer to your tv, hook up an xbox controller, and you have exactly the same thing...

i really like how the rails look in that video the one thing is it looks like you automatically lock into rails meaning you cant really do presses.

as i see it youridding and shredsauce are like this while in gnarshmellow you slide in the same direction you entered in meaning you can do presses i think a mix of these would be awesome for instance if you had a button that made your skis scissor if you wanted to lock onto the rail but that if you don't press that button than you continue on the rail at the same angle you entered at.

It would be sick if you guys did two control settings. A simple one for the average gamer and an advanced on that implements stuff like this ^.

good luck with that - Steam is not a fan of sharing accounts.

Correct. Early Access will cost $14.99 until we have monetization set up in-game. It's a low price, and you will get a lot of free exclusive stuff, which we think makes the deal even more sweet (more on that later...)

Our goal is April for F2P, but we can't make any promises. If you care about the game, and want to help shape it into something even more awesome, spend the money and give us feedback - we are listening!

just got windows with steam working (im on mac) next 9 days r gonna be tough. Btw, anyone knows if leaving a product key that doesn't work in options, unlock your windows (or something like that), can't get any legit key, but it doesn't prevent me from doing anything apart from customising???
