Gameplay

The player is treated to videos of Picabo Street explaining the best and easiest way to make it down the hill alive. [3]

The player is given choices of five different kinds of racing: Slalom, Giant Slalom, Super-G, Downhill and All-Around. [3] In these the player can control the difficulty of the courses by changing the weather and the snow conditions. [3] In addition there are six choices of courses to ski on: Whistler, Aspen Mountain, Vail, Mt. Bachelor, Val d'lsere and Garmisch. [3] [4]

Reception

Computer Gaming World gave the game a score of 2 out of 5 stating "Maybe if Papyrus had developed the game instead of Dynamix it would have been more realistic. As it is, it’s a moderately fun arcade racing game. Just don’t try the slalom." [6]
