I really like this game. The racing is lots of fun or I like just skiing around the mountain. I have the balance board which allows for more realistic skiing. The only thing is that if you use the balance board, you can only play with one player. If you want to race with two players you have to switch to the remotes. Skiing with the remotes is a bit awkward but it is fun to race another player and not just the computer. I am looking forward to more games that use the balance board.

Was OK, but not the greatest. I e-bayed it shortly after getting it.
When actually skiing it was fun, but far too much time was spent trying to get to the hills to do it. I'm looking forward to Shaun White, which looks to be much better.

Skiing without the cold weather

I found the we ski is a fun product that gives you a very close feeling to real skiing when you have the wii fit board without dealing with the cold and wet weather. I addition to that you never need to stand in line for the next ride and it is a good preparation for the next skiing season.

Not skiing - but still fun

I'm an expert skiier of many years and was really looking forward to this game. Figured i could hone my skills when off piste, but No. Even with the Wii balance board, this doesn't come close to actually skiing. The controls are way to off kilter for what you actually do when skiing. If you are looking for a ski simulator experience, look elsewhere. However, this game is still fun, especially if you just use the Nunchuk and skip the balance board. So i still gave it 3 stars. Takes a bit of getting used to, but it is fun. But not the same as skiing.

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!
