Personally, i really enjoyed, and continue to enjoy, this game. The reason for that is, this game does not try to be more than it is, which is a great family friendly skiing game. The controls are absolutely amazing, if you have ever skied before you won't find this THAT different from the real thing. The game offers a great virtual ski resort ("creatively" called, Happy Ski Resort), with lots of different slopes to test your skills. Along these slopes there are tons of great missions to complete, such as air tricks, mogul skiing, races, and generally finding things all over the resort. Another great thing is you get to customize your character, with different outfits, skis, stocks, gloves etc. There is also a Mii compatibility, so that you can use your own face to go skiing. I'm really glad they put this in, because i personally think the characters in this game look really retarded..
But anyway, overall this is everything a family friendly skiing game should be, its simple, fun, and has a certain charm to it. One bad thing though, in order to play multiplayer, you need to use the wii remotes.. i mean, its not really an issue, since you probably wont have 2 balance boards, but if a friend has one, sadly they cant bring theirs to play wii ski with you.. But this doesn't take away the greatness of this little game. I recommend it to all who have a balance board gathering dust in the corner of your living room...
