Nobody outruns the yeti. Some people just take longer to get caught. Ski Flee is a downhill run on a mountain that never ends. You steer with one thumb: hold and slide, and how far you push is how hard you brake. Thread the pines, chain the slalom gates, and go big off every ramp you find. A few hundred meters in, the yeti wakes up behind you and does not stop. FEATURES: • THE YETI — It doesn't patrol. It hunts you specifically, and the longer it's on you the less your tricks work. • GET AIR — Leave the ground and the yeti stops dead. Every ramp is free distance. • TREE TRICK — Cut close past a pine and the yeti plows into it. Buys you seconds. • GATE COMBOS — Thread slalom gates back to back and your multiplier climbs. • YOUR OWN GHOST — Your best run replays alongside you, so you always have someone to beat. Good luck. It's got all day.
