When I was a kid, I lived at my grandma’s house. And the backyard was a hill that I would sled on constantly. I would see if I could make it all the way across the street (if it was icy enough) and sometimes, I’d make it.

Now that I don’t live there anymore, I got the next best thing: this game. This game is everything great about living in cold climate: exploration, challenge, the peaceful nature. I don’t know how to ski, but it still takes me back to when I was a kid every time I play this game.

There’s tons of variety. Time trial, trick contests, ski jumps, following paths, and punching people for some reason. And you find NPCs that make it feel lived in. Makes me want to go to Sweden. Apparently the developer has a hatred for snowmobiles.

One nitpick is that the controls get some getting used to but it’s just like learning to ski I guess. Also some of the unmarked trials can be hard to follow. Thankfully there’s ski prints that show you where to go.

There’s not alot of mobile games that are worth playing. Grand Mountain Adventure is worth it. Fun, challenging and without any of the bullshit that most mobile games have. Which is nice.

And no, There isn’t a yeti in the game

Yet ….
