A couple of weeks back, we listed the most exceptional skiing and snowboard video games of all time, so if you're more of a video game fan, then this probably suits you better.
However, if you prefer the convenience of just flipping over to a new tab from the good old Facebook, you've come to the right place.
Throughout the years, games designated for computers involving skiing and mountains have not been of abundance. In fact, there's not much at all to be found. But there are a few, or three games to be more exact, that have managed to capture the skiing audience. You'll be surprised by the simplicity in two of them, and stunned by the excellent graphic in the third.

WARNING: These games may cause disturbance of workflow, efficiency, and sleep: They're highly addictive.

1: Jibbin +

Don't get fooled by the laughable graphics of the game. Jibbin + have been soaking up every jibbing kid's summertime with more efficiency than your cotton baselayer soaks up every drop of snow on a sunny day.
With features such as different parks based on real word destinations and appropriate clothing, which means Tall Tees and bandanas, the game was perfectly designed for the jibbing generation.
What made the game stand out was the ability to customize the game your own way if you had smart fingers. You could build your own grabs, fix your own clothes, and pretty much create the style you wanted both in tricks and appearance. Furthermore, you could share your style online and make your 'grab pack' able to be downloaded by other keen Jibbin + gamers.

2: SNOW

The only open-world Free to Play Ski/Snb game did not only take the graphics to a new level, but it was also the only game to let players step into an urban environment. SNOW is a high-end skiing game intended for gamers who want to come as close as possible to resembling the feeling of tumbling down the mountain in real life, with a few tweaks.
SNOW is available for free download on Steam and is arguably the best modern skiing game around right now.

3: Shredsauce

If you put Jibbin + and SNOW into a stew, add some peppers and stir it for 15 minutes or so; you have successfully created Shredsauce.
Ironically, it is in fact the bridge between a low-key and a high performing game. On top of that, it's playable from your internet browser and does not require downloading or setting up an account. A perfect setup, if you will.
Shredsauce lets players drop into a park, throw stylish airs, and have short commands for respawning at a set location of your choice in no time. It's perfect for the office worker who wants a quick escape from the numbers and Excel arcs. You're welcome!

So, what are you waiting for? Let's go ski!
