Real fun by Eugene Goldfarb (Whitehouse Station, NJ United States) 4 Stars
October 16, 2009
This game is blast when you race in dual mode. The balance board option is fun too.

So much fun!! by C. A. Struck (MI USA) 5 Stars
August 25, 2009
I was worried that this might be too easy, or we might get easily bored. Nope! Love it. So fun, easy for me, my husband, and our 9 and 7 year old, but still challenging enough to keep us working on it every day! Love all the choices--day or night skiing, 14 different runs, easy, intermediate, and advanced courses, and hidden places to explore. Oh, and there are games to play and races to run too! You can play by yourself or with up to 3 others! Fun for the whole family! Can be used with or without the Balance Board. I prefer using the Balance Board, but my family doesn't. Either way works!

you can buy a $20 game that you'll sorta enjoy for a few days, or you can buy a $50 game that you'll really enjoy and play a bunch. this game is the kind you sorta enjoy for a few days. my four year old finds it to be a little tough, i find it unengaging. the balance board only makes things more confusing, so don't worry about it if you didn't buy one. with so many GREAT games out there, wasting time and money on this one is LUNACY.

Value for money by goldie1 (NJ, USA) 5 Stars
July 07, 2009
I am relatively new to the Wii gaming console and this is only my fifth game title. I have started a Gamefly account and I rented this game. I bought it from them with their 'keep it' option for only $[...] ! I did not know that the game works with my balance board and was pleasently surprised to see it blend well. The graphics are very good. I like the controls since they come naturally to you and are easy for all ages (except for mogul and some air jumps). Like other reviewers mentioned, there are a lot of fun options in the resort. This game is a true value for money in the pricey Wii game market. I chose to post this review though I did not purchase it at Amazon !

Fun but gets boring by R. D. Cooke (Wiesbaden Germany) 3 Stars
May 31, 2009
It seems fun at first but it gets rather boring after awhile. I can't seem to get the crouching to work at all. The balance board makes it a little easier to play. So it's nice to find some way to use the board other than wii fit.
