## What is Ski Safari?

*The official FREE-to-play version*

Welcome to Ski Safari's 10th Anniversary!

We are thrilled to celebrate 10 years of Ski Safari. Ten years of skiing, gliding, and riding. Ten years of running from the avalanche. Ten years of fun! And for this occasion, we decided to make this classic runner game available for everyone FOR FREE! 

•  Ski Safari is where Animals, Avalanches, and Action come together to create a new casual gameplay experience.
•  Run! Our deep sleeping hero has to stay ahead of a relentless avalanche that threatens the local mountainsides. Sven, as we like to call him, can use animals to aid his escape from an icy end. 
•  Unique animals! Each of the hillside animals has different attributes to make a speedier escape. Penguins glide further, Yetis are tougher, Eagles soar to great heights, each of these can provide a useful advantage for Sven.
•  And…sledges! Sometimes on the slopes, Sven can find fast Snowmobiles which can ferry multiple animals and maintain a very high top speed.
•  Level up! Completing objectives can "level up" Sven and increase his score multiplier. 
•  Perform stunts! Riding animals, performing backflips add to the score, and with an increased score multiplier, Sven will rock the high score table with ease.

### 2/5 — 再出现无缘无故数据就没了的情况找人弄你

*2026-08-14, version 2.4.0*

这个bug我两年前玩就这样了，国服是这样，国际服照样没修，知道自己是老古董干脆摆烂了？太不要脸了，我好不容易一次打了一百万分数据清零了你给我分陪回来啊

### 5/5 — Peak

*2026-07-22*

Genuinely amazing, would be my favorite mobile game of all time were it not for Ski Safari 2. I love the idea of running from an avalanche that eventually gets so big and fast that you NEED to be mounted on something to survive. Music is also very nostalgic and I love the Yeti and his personality so much. This game is incredibly fun to play whether you’re just trying to kill time or actually playing for the sake of it.

But if you’re planning to play it long term, consider just buying the paid version because this one really only lets you play the Penguin Peaks map for free and has a lot of ads. Don’t get me wrong, they’re tolerable during normal gameplay, but you’re pretty much guaranteed an ad every time you pause or die unless you turn off your WiFi.

My personal high score as of writing this is 2,765,730 so if you want to, you could try to beat that.

### 1/5 — Loosing your status

*2026-07-15, version 2.4.0*

If you don’t play this game everyday and you let some time lapse between playing you loose everything and have to start over with the basic hill!

### 5/5 — 给五星是为了被看见

*2026-05-08*

我很久以前玩这个游戏是在电视上玩的，那时候这款游戏就是非常的纯粹，非常直观的快乐，现在我又看到了这款游戏，玩了一下，发现里面都是花里胡哨的皮肤和各种充值活动完下去全够清怀苦苦支撑之前这么好玩的一款游戏，为什么变成这样呢？我觉得官方要好好反思一下。

### 5/5 — I’m hungry

*2026-04-28, version 2.4.0*

### 2/5 — Lame

*2026-02-13*

It’s a fun game but the only levels that you can’t buy are 50,000 coins. It’s a pretty absurd amount, you have to play for awhile to even get that much. Took me like a month or two but I got to 47,000 coins just so I can buy this Halloween themed level however today I found they changed it so you have to actually pay real money for the level. One word I’d call this move, greedy
