Very easy to get hang of... Needs more challenges
Lovely cruising around wherever you want to go, and complete the 'challenges'....which even for a casual gamer aren't much of a challenge. Tricks are easy...would be great to be able to perform more tricks, flips upside down both forwards and backwards would make the game more interesting. Hitting a tree even slightly stops your speed completely yet you don't 'wipeout'... Would be nice to see a spray of snow come off and the game allow some tree fun when only just glancing them. Also no park or rails available which is a shame. A fair variety of courses but after a while they do get to be a bit 'samey'. Rider choice, board choice and ability to play&compete against others would also be a welcome addition.

Awesome!!!
My favorite game, the smooth graphics really give you a sense of speed and let you anticipate and time your maneuvers!
Great!
It was so awsome I couldn't put it down
Good game but causes crash when trying to move app
The game is good. Would be nice with more tricks but the major problem is that when I try to move the app to a folder on my iPhone 5 it causes the phone to crash.
Terrible!!!
At .99 this game was a rip off!
Great game, updates welcome!
Amazing game, must buy!!! Could do with half pipe, slope-style and big air, otherwise great game!!!buy it!!!!!
I love this app!
Glitches up sometimes when im next to a mountain but its really fun and i recommend for you to buy it :)
Great game
Needs inverted tricks, other then that sweet app :)
Pretty solid game!
Overall it's a pretty great game. Graphics are good and it barely ever lags. One thing you might wanna add is a some kind of freeride mode and maybe one specifically for tricks; like a few big jumps in a row and a halfpipe or something. Just an idea.
How stupid are these developers?
These guys just put out an update simply saying that the app no longer works on 3G phones without any explanation of a fix with this update. I have a 3G phone and checked to see if the app is still working before downloading the update and it was still working. I went back to the update and downloaded it and then the app stopes working. In short, these developers made an update specifically for it to stop working on 3G phones. What complete idiots!

Fun and Exciting
I am neither young nor much of a game player, but this is intuitive. You can enjoy it the first time you try it and from there it is a bit like riding a bicycle, you will get better and better at it, hardly knowing exactly how you are acquiring these skills and while enjoying the jumps and downhill runs.....as if it were real.
I do recommend playing your own favorite music on your iPad or iPod, it will play right through this game automatically once you turn it on.....this game is a joy to play with Beethoven or Mozart, but suit yourself

Not bad
Game is fun but easy to finish with a dozen or so levels and no where to go after that. Would be good to have freestyle, half pipe and be better on the vertical walls.
Excellent value!
The price alone gives it a great entertainment value! I've updated this rating as the app is a lot smoother now. Yes, the graphics are rough, but the physics are excellent and the control is very good.
If it had smoother (anti-aliased, higher resolution) graphics then it would cost $5+.
If you want a good snowboarding app which challenges you and costs a buck more than nothing then pick it up.

Great game
Admittedly there are some changes that could be made to improve this game, but all in all it's pretty good. The accelerometer controls are much more user-friendly than other iPad apps, which really add to overall gameplay. Get. This. App.
Fun
pretty good game update was VERY helpful
Keep the updates coming!
I appreciate the updates. It has improved a little bit, the biggest aspect being that the jumping controls aren't as sensitive. Other things that could be done are a few park levels could be added (large ramps, rails, boxes) and more tricks.
Just keep updating it until you find the right formula. This game has potential, it's all about reaching that potential.
Keep 'em coming!

I like it!
There are a few snowboarding games on iPhone now, and they're mostly marble-runs down a drainpipe affairs. This is the first 'open mountain' style game.
The feel of the board is great and the sense of space is fantastic. The mountains are huge open environments with lots of freedom to choose a route.
The graphics are good if blandly lit, and the character is well made. I really liked the score and tricks streaming from the boarder as he performs moves. There are masses of mountains too. Overall the quality's there.
The downside is that this feels like a technical demo with some gameplay added. The tricks mechanism is very under-developed and there's only one rider to chose from. Animation is good but limited. Presentation is inovitive at times but the UI looks like a place holder. There's no sense of the style and cool of snowboarding. Additionally, there's only an open-play mode. That's okay but there needs to be more visual and gameplay stimulation if that approach is taken.
Overall, I do like it. I like the open mountain and the tactile feel of the snow. I like the fact that it manages to be (in some ways) technically more inovative than almost every other snowboarding game in the store (except the utterly stunning x2 Snowboarding of course).
But is there really a game in here? I'm not too sure really, but I await updates with real interest...

Alpha release
This game is nowhere near finished. The controls are buggy (random jumps and spinning) the camera is awful, there are no achievements, rewards, story/career, no anything.
I honestly wouldn't mind, but these devs seem to have forgotten this game, haven't offered update news or responded to comments or concerns posted for almost two weeks.
Poof, they are gone, put up 1/4th of a game in the app store for $2 and dissapeared. Should ne criminal DO NOT BUY.

Finally a great snowboarding game!
I have tried a number of snowboarding games that had horrible problems including crazy snowboard (repetitive tracks), adrenaline snowboarding (not enough content), and shaun white snowboarding (lag and crash issues along with a lack of content) and big mountain finally does it correctly. Smooth gameplay, plenty of tracks (that look different enough considering they're all snow),and tight controls. Graphics are good, but the gameplay makes up for it. You can tilt the screen to wherever you are most comfortable and play your own music so the user can have their own unique experience. Personally, I would like the option to tap/flick the screen to jump rather than flick my device, but the current option works well enough. I would also like to see either a character customization option or additional characters added in a future update. All in all, for such a low price, any extreme sports fan should pick this up.

Great fun!
The physics engine in this game is great. The controls are also very intuitive, and at only $2, the price is right. This game is just good fun. Great job from Golden Hammer... I look forward to their next game!
