Ski School
A physics skiing party game where each stick is one of your legs. Race up to 30 people down one mountain, on snow that fights back.
The game
Real skiing physics, turned into a party. Steer each ski on its own, feel the snow change under you, and try to stay upright while 29 other people do the same.
The Ski Bums way
Left stick, left ski. Right stick, right ski. A trigger leans your body into the turn and both together tuck. Carve, skate across the flats or tumble: it all comes out of the physics, nothing is scripted. It's how the game is meant to be skied, and once it clicks, you're skiing.
The party
Everyone starts together and everyone is on the slope at once. The leaders get the fresh snow; the rest of the field skis what they leave behind.
The events
A round is a run of events on different slopes, ending in a final.
The mountain
A whole mountain of runs above the village of Atlas Station, with chairlifts, a flow park to carve and races by day, at golden hour and under floodlights.
Controls
Two Legs is the heart of Ski Bums, but it isn't the only way in. There are six control schemes in all, from the full two-leg technique to just tilting your phone, and every one drives the same legs on the same physics. So friends of every level can race the same mountain, and you can move up to Two Legs when you're ready.
The Ski Bums way: each stick is a leg.
Like most ski games: one stick steers.
The triggers are your feet. Squeeze the way you want to go.
Two Legs on glass: a thumbstick for each leg.
A thumbstick for each leg; tilt the phone to lean.
Just tilt the phone. The easy one.
Every scheme drives the same two legs and the same physics; only how your hands talk to them changes. Switch any time from the pause menu.
The snow report
Five kinds of snow, each skiing differently. You feel every one through your legs.
Groomed corduroy. Grips cleanly and carves, until you ask too much and the edge lets go.
It only holds on a hard edge. Lose it and it's hard to get back.
Knee deep when you're slow. Sit back or it pitches you forward.
Powder that's been skied. Bumpy, slow, and it knocks your skis about.
Sticky and wet. Hit it fast and it throws you forward.
And it changes under you. Skis chop fresh powder into crud, skids scrape the piste down to ice, and bumps build up where everyone turns. The last skier down never gets the same run as the first.
No kickers. No flips. No tricks.
Just you, two legs and the snow.
From the mountain
Recorded by the game itself, every day, on its own. No mock-ups.
Built with you
Anyone can copy a game. We'd rather build this one with the people who play it. Vote, send ideas, and see what came of them.

How to ski in real life and in the game, snow by snow. All articles
Most ski games steer the skier like a car. We wanted you to feel the skiing, so each stick drives one leg. Here's why, and what it took.

Every good turn starts before you turn: in how you stand. Here's the stance real instructors teach, and why our skiers already have it.

We run online playtests with up to 30 skiers at a time. Every one shapes the game.
Questions
Nothing. Ski Bums is free to play. The shop sells cosmetics for Ski Bucks, and nothing in it makes you faster.
On a computer, a controller: the game is built around two analogue sticks, so there's no keyboard or mouse. It comes with three controller schemes, from the full two-leg technique to Classic, where one stick steers like in other ski games. Phones get three touch and tilt schemes, which are in development.
Sign up with your email. When there's a place for you we'll email you with how to join, and you'll race online with up to 30 other skiers.
No, on purpose. No kickers, no flips: just skiing, and the snow is the challenge.
We only use it to invite you to playtests. We never sell or share it, and you can take it off the list at any time.
