Pick one of 13 real mountain ranges. String the lifts, draw the runs, make the snow and keep the guests coming.
What you do
String eight kinds of lift, from a rope tow to a gondola. Draw every run with your finger and the mountain grades it for you.
Set the price of tickets, season passes and rentals. Hire staff, fix what breaks and watch the books through the season.
Weather follows each mountain's real climate. Storms roll in, days turn to nights, and avalanche danger climbs with the new snow. Make snow when the sky comes up short, and keep the patrol ready.
