## What is Backcountry Ski Lite?

Backcountry skiing. No lift lines, no crowds. It all sounded great until you spent the entire day kicking up the mountain on skins, heel lifters set on high. But now it is getting late, a storm is blowing in, avalanches rumble in the distance, and you are hopelessly lost.

Looking around you spot smoke in the distance -- could it be from your base camp? Maybe you can still make it. It's all downhill from here. What's the worst that could happen? Unfortunately, you are about to find out...

Ski down the mountain following smoke to your camp. Watch out for trees, cliffs, avalanches, and exhaustion. Your health goes down with each crash and with passing time. If the bar at upper left turns completely red the game is over.

TIPS - If you jump too high or turn too fast you will crash. Smooth S-shaped linked turns are best. Align your skis down the slope when landing. Traverse steep slopes sideways to avoid fatal falls. Turn up hill slightly to shed speed. Watch your altitude; stay above the camp or you may never get there. Avalanche danger is always present.

This free 'Lite'  version has 3 easy training trails.  The full version contains 21 additional long and steep trails on 3 different mountain ranges.

## Key features

- Backcountry skiing simulation

### 1/5 — Lame

*2018-04-21*

Pretty lame. Has potential to be fun if some time was put into adding details such as different skier options, style, equipment. 

But for now..... lame.

### 5/5 — 90s-licious

*2012-08-31*

I'm not sure why everyone doesn't like this game! It is a throwback of the computer games in the 90s!

### 1/5 — Haha

*2011-03-25*

Hilariously horrible

### 1/5 — Uhhh... What?

*2011-02-01*

This app stinks!! The 3d is ok at best, and the motion is completely unrealistic. Good concept, bad follow through.

### 2/5 — Pas terrible

*2011-01-26*

Euuuuuhh nul tous simplement on se croirait revenu a l époque de la Nintendo

### 2/5 — meh

*2010-09-05*

you cant really carve and the snow balls that roll around are incredibly unrealistic and anoying.

bad app

### 4/5 — 笑えるか笑えないかなんだよな

*2010-04-09*

どうして評価が真っ二つに二分しているのか、やってみれば分かりますよ。

たしかに、毎回ウェブページ行きの親切設計はほぼ違法と思えますが、実はアトラクション終了後に左上の小さな取り出しボタンみたいのを押せば続けられます。このアプリを開くとしみじみとある種「人間の哀しさ」みたいなものを体感できます

まあ松っちゃんだったら忍び笑いで窒息死するところでしょうww
プロバージョンについては、、まあ心配せずともだれも買わないでしょ(^_^;)

### 4/5 — Ya mie

*2010-03-15*

La magnabilité é vrement pourit mais sinon le jeu é pas mal

### 5/5 — Sick

*2010-02-13*

Sick

### 1/5 — Bof ..none playabilty

*2010-01-04*

la jouabilité est très faible, on arrive a peine à se sortir des plats et aucune sensation de slalom, y toujours un millier de sapins pour empêcher le plaisr de la glisse.
Le programmeur doit être un refoulé du ski que le mono a empêché d'avoir as 1ere étoile.
Dommage car le concept aurait pu être bon
