Overview
Description

Big Mountain 2000 lets you choose between snowboarding and skiing as you race down challenging downhill courses. Pick from a roster of characters, each with unique abilities, and tackle free‑ride, slalom, or giant slalom tracks. The game offers three modes—Championship, Time Attack, and a multiplayer Battle mode—so you can compete solo or with friends in split‑screen action.

We Ski lets you strap on the Wii Balance Board and use Wii Remote and Nunchuk as virtual ski poles to mimic real skiing. Play with or without the Balance Board across 14 day and night courses, tackling races, ski school, rescue missions, and freestyle free‑roam with up to four friends.
