Product Description

Family Ski is the latest release from Nintendo that makes full use of the Wii Board peripheral. Take the Nunchuck and Remote in your hands and step on the Wii Board to really take advantage.

Welcome to the Happy Ski Resort, where fresh powder, groomed runs, multiple trails, and state of the art facilities await! Family Ski takes you down the slopes in the most exciting skiing game to hit the Wii! Grab your Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk or step onto your Wii Board to execute perfect wedge stops, shred the slaloms, and negotiate moguls with ease. With an in-depth Ski School and over a dozen lengthy runs packed with jumps, races, and more, you and your friends won’t want to leave the slopes again!

Family Ski is a relaxed winter sports game and uses the motion controllers to let players Ski. The Wii Remote and Nunchuck simulate the Ski Poles, used to accelerate and move off from a stationary point and turn in a specific direction.

When these are used in collaboration with the Wii Fit peripheral, the Wii board, players can be further immersed into a unique experience of skiing. The Wii Board takes over to allow the player to turn whilst skiing by measuring the swaying and leaning of the body.

Customer Reviews

You don't need to go skiing to have great fun on the slopes.
Nothing needs to be said on this review, except buy it now.

Thanks for reading my review!

Cool for the summer
Great to have another game that uses the Wii fit.
Have only just started to use this game, but so far the graphics are good and there is variation to just skiing down a slope. I can't see why this would not be fun for a variety of age groups, especially within a family.

Added fun for the balance board!
I got a balance board when they first were released and absolutely love the Wii Fitness game. I saw that this software was compatible with the balance board too and decided to go for it.

I'm absolutely thrilled with this game. It is challenging, but fun at the same time, and if you'd just like to have a ski around the various slopes in the resort and not race/participate in challenges, that's fine.

The controls are very easy to master and the on-screen description of how to do things in Ski School is also fantastic.

I'd highly recommend that you buy this game, especially if you have a balance board and want to add an extra dimension to its use.
