• The freestyle mode plays like a video arcade
  racing game, the training mode allows the player
  to use any course, and the competition mode is
  like the Winter Olympic Games. Controls can be
  modified and the player can either use skis or
  snowboards..
• Conditions can change on the course, which can
  range from dawn, dusk, darkness, afternoon
  conditions, even forcing players to navigate
  through a winter storm. Once the player reaches
  the bottom of the hill in freestyle mode, either
  he or she must use the ski lift in order to climb
  to the top of the next mountain. There are less
  than 70 seconds to get to the next checkpoint.
  The fastest speed that snowboards can go is 66
  miles per hour (106.2 kilometres per hour) on
  hilly terrain and 88 miles per hour (141.6
  kilometres per hour) on flat terrain. These
  factors make them ? as fast as stock cars that
  race in the NASCAR Cup Series. A password allows
  players to continue their saved progress as they
  explore new regions of the mountain and refine
  their skiing or snowboarding skills

Ice hockey

• Ice hockey (hockey in countries where it is the
  most popular form of hockey) is a team sport
  played on ice, in which skaters use sticks to
  direct a puck into the opposing team's goal. It
  is a fast-paced physical sport. Ice hockey is
  most popular in areas that are sufficiently cold
  for natural reliable seasonal ice cover, such as
  Canada, the Czech Republic, Latvia, the Nordic
  countries (especially Finland and Sweden), United
  States, Russia, Slovakia, Germany, Austria, and
  Switzerland. With the advent of indoor artificial
  ice rinks it has become a year-round pastime in
  these areas. Ice hockey is one of the four major
  North American professional sports. Worldwide the
  National Hockey League (NHL) is the highest level
  for men.

• Snowboarding is a sport that involves descending
  a slope that is covered with snow on a snowboard
  attached to a rider's feet using a special boot
  set onto mounted binding. The development of
  snowboarding was inspired by skateboarding,
  surfing and skiing. It was developed in the
  U.S.A. in the 1960s and the 1970s and became a
  Winter Olympic Sport in 1998.
