JustSki

Drop in at the top and look down the fall line. JustSki puts you behind your own goggles — ski tips in view, the piste rushing at you, and the mountain rolling away beneath them. Play portrait or landscape on iPhone and iPad; the lean pad and JUMP / BOOST sit in the thumb zones either way. YOU'RE ON THE SKIS Top speed is 20 mph. Hit boost and it doubles for five seconds, then you wait ten for it back. Gravity does the rest: a steep pitch pulls you along, a rise saps your speed no matter how hard you tuck. FOUR MOUNTAINS, COLOUR-CODED Powder Valley is wide and forgiving. Pine Ridge crowds you with trees. Glacier Pass is narrow and icy. Volcano Peak is four miles of cracked, smoking mountain. Every map card and race HUD shows a piste profile — blue, green, red — so you can read the slope before you jump. JUMP IT OR WEAR IT Lava cracks split the piste. Push up into a tuck as you jump — how far you push is how much air you get — and the widest gaps need the boost as well. Some runs simply stop and pick up again on a lower slope set to one side. Miss that one and it is a long way down. SNOWBALLS DO NOT MISS BY ACCIDENT They come down the mountain on an intercept course, aimed at where you are going to be. Carve out of the way, or jump clean over them. RACE ANYONE, ANYWHERE Take on a bot at three difficulties, or race a friend in the same room over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. No accounts, no servers, no sign-in. Or take a free run and chase your own best time. SKI FOR GOLD Sail over a rock and pocket two gold, a snowman or an ice boulder five. Finish a run for a hundred, beat your own record for a hundred and fifty, beat every rival for two hundred. Spend it on ski suits, on skis you will be looking at all the way down, and on tricks — somersaults you can throw off a lip, if you have the air to land them. No adverts. No account. Optional cosmetic purchases only — suits, skis and one trick. Mountains, races and boost stay free, and gold you earn still unlocks plenty. Nothing is collected and nothing leaves your device. Works on a plane.
