JustSki — First-person downhill ski racing for iPhone and iPad

Straight down the fall line

You are on the skis, not watching them from behind. Your tips, the piste, and whatever is coming at you — a rock, a snowman, a crack in the mountain with lava at the bottom of it. Steer with your left thumb, and the further you push the faster you go. Jump, boost and brake sit under your right hand.

First-person view of the piste with gates and edge poles ahead — Gates ahead, edge poles either side. Leave the piste and you fall off the mountain.

Mountains and the valley floor far below the run — Peaks on both flanks and a valley floor a long way below.

Four mountains, all of them generated

Every run is built from a seed, so a mountain is the same for you and for whoever you race — but no two mountains ski alike. The higher difficulties narrow the piste, break the slope apart and put more in your way.

Mountain	What it is
Powder Valley	A wide open bowl. Room to learn where the brake is.
Pine Ridge	Trees tight to the edges and a piste that rolls under you.
Glacier Pass	Ice, so the skis answer late. Ice boulders to go round.
Volcano Peak	Four miles, cracked open. Jump or burn.

Things that will end your run

Lava cracks

Press JUMP and push your thumb upward. Not far enough up and you go in.

Broken slope

Sometimes the mountain simply stops and starts again further down. Carry speed into it.

Snowballs

They come down the hill aimed at where you are going, not where you are.

The edge

There is nothing holding you on. Off the side is a long way down.

Gold, and what to do with it

Sail over a rock and it is 2 gold. A snowman or an ice boulder, 5. Finish a free run, 100; beat your own best time, 150; beat everyone you raced, 200. Gold you have collected stays collected, whether or not you make it to the bottom.

Spend it in the ski shop on suits, on skis, and on tricks you can throw off a jump.

Race the person next to you

Pick Race a Friend Nearby and the app looks for other iPhones and iPads running JustSki on the same Wi-Fi or over Bluetooth. It is direct between the devices — there is no server, no account and no sign-in anywhere in the game. It is also entirely optional; every other part works on its own.
