About Ski or die

Ski or Die is a winter sports title offering five distinct competitive events. Players can engage in a downhill skiing race with jumps and mogul stunts, or perform acrobatic aerial maneuvers after launching from a ramp. Another event involves a first-person snowball fight where players defend a fortress from attackers.

The game includes activities for direct competition, such as a two-player innertube descent where opponents can sabotage each other. A snowboarding half-pipe event focuses on performing tricks for points within a time limit. Players can practice individual events or enter a tournament mode, which supports hot-seat multiplayer for alternating turns.
