Nearly a very good game ### 4/5 — Thanks see *2022-02-24, version 2.9.1* Hi ### 4/5 — Fun game! *2022-02-16* It’s a pretty fun game. The part when the bear chases you around adds a lot of action into the levels. I wish there was a way to customize my character,though. ### 4/5 — Review *2021-08-22, version 2.9.1* It’s to hard, but anything that has skiing I love ### 4/5 — Alpine Ski III could do with a upgrade *2020-12-18, version 2.9.1* I quite like the look of the Alpine Ski III app, but it does need to be given an update to enable the user the additional option to remove all the trees on the piste, and the rock’s and the bear from the game, so that it makes it into a proper skiing simulator and provides the feeling of skiing at speed down a piste without getting instantly killed by hitting a misplaced tree or being savaged by a bear. Because I used to watch the TV programme Ski Sunday, and although I’ve never been skiing myself I do think that if this app was updated with the above additional options or as a complete upgrade then I would possibly enjoy it much more than I do at the moment. Kind Regards, Matthew Calver. ### 4/5 — Much better than you might think. *2020-12-18* If you’re the type of person that thinks Asphalt 8 is just like driving a car, then stay away from this. But if you realize Real Racing 3 is closer to the truth then this just might be for you. Not every game has to have explosions and loud music. Once in a while you might enjoy a little cross-country skiing. Nice and quiet. Just you and some powder. Then this is for you. Give it a try and be prepared to be, well, honestly, underwhelmed. In a good way. ### 4/5 — Just got, love, some ideas *2020-08-08* Just got this game, and it’s so realistic and addictive! I have been trying out many skiing game apps and this is definitely the best. However, I would like to see a woman skier option. Also, maybe add jumps and moguls and stuff. Maybe I haven’t gotten there yet. Otherwise, I recommend- it’s simple, realistic, and fun! ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2020-07-12* Laid up in bed on a hot summer day, this is the best when your jonesin’ for the pow. Great physics. Watch out for the bears! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2020-06-17, version 2.8.3* Really puts you on the slopes brings back memories ### 5/5 — skiing *2020-05-04, version 2.8.3* Love love soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much ### 5/5 — Ski *2020-04-24, version 2.8.3* Really good totally enjoying it ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-04-13* I love skiing, last season I skied 50+ days.

But otherwise no ads and all round great feel of the game.

Smooth graphics, good sounds and quite atmospheric. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trash *2021-06-19, version 2.9.1* Don’t get it’s soo unrealistic and really annoying don’t get ### 1/5 — Why??? *2020-11-08, version 2.8.3* Why does this game continually put you back at the beginning after a crash? It’s not what happens in real life and it’s BORING!!! ### 1/5 — Worst game *2020-01-12, version 2.6.14* All you do is ski slowly in bad conditions and it is flat do not get the game ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2017-03-13, version 2.2.0* Don't download no time put into the game rather play the Atari ### 2/5 — Physics all wrong *2021-08-29, version 2.9.1* Turns slow you down, but not here, and bear just means you get killed and can’t ski more, pointless. Disappointing. ### 2/5 — X-rated ads *2021-08-12* This game was pretty good. Room for improvement, but was searching for a game like this and it was the only one I could find. Does a decent job at what it does. My kids liked to play it with me, which I though was great for introducing them to skiing. Then one day a pornographic ad (maybe “soft” porn) involving a maid and a dude who I think had his pants down popped up on my screen through this app. I couldn’t even skip the ad. NOT OKAY for a 5 and a 3-year-old to see. ### 2/5 — Speed Boost Lost When Bear In View *2019-01-04, version 2.6.2* NM ### 3/5 — Decent *2021-12-17, version 2.9.1* I’m on controller and it won’t let me go past 20 mph ☹️ ### 3/5 — Review *2019-02-02, version 2.6.2* Hi I played this game for a long time and I strongly suggest you guys doing something about how the guy can’t do tricks everyone wants a game with cool tricks you can do with your phone and take it from a kid me who skis and kicks butt I love doing tricks and people like to do tricks so thank you for your time and hope you take my suggestion. ### 3/5 — Just ok *2018-09-21, version 2.6.2* Great for boredom ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Snowboard *2022-02-17, version 2.9.1* I need to learn how to snowboard ! ### 5/5 — Great Game *2021-08-31* Creative artwork scenery.
