Whether you find yourself with some free time on your hands at a ski resort, or just sitting at home pining for a trip to the mountains, you have plenty of options available to entertain you during this time.

Most of us enjoy skiing and the slopes, so when we are away, playing video games based on our favourite sport is something we enjoy.

New ski video games are coming out on an annual basis, so narrowing it down to a few of the best ones for 2021 has proven a challenge.

Here are some of the best video games based on the sport of skiing for 2021.

Steep X Games

Although the latest edition of Steep X Games was released in 2018, this game is still going strong to this day.

This video game enjoys a simple concept. All you have to do is to slide down the slopes and admire the landscapes.  As you are sliding along, you have to collect all the objects that come your way.

You can also trace your own route. You can also pick what to use to ski down the mountains; be it a snowboard, skis or paragliding.

Icy Wilds

Icy Wilds is not a video game, but an online slot game that comes packed with 50 paylines and a superb Wilds feature. You can easily trigger the Wilds feature by simply hitting a full-stalk.

The game also comes with a bountiful free spins bonus round and synchronized reels. Players looking to play this game can start off with a bigger bankroll so they don’t miss out on winning opportunities.

You can take advantage of theinternetslots.com/au/software/aristocrat, which will double or even triple the money deposited, so you can extend gameplay.

Alto’s Adventure

Alto’s Adventure is a whimsical video game that stands out thanks to its impressive graphics. It comes with its own style, realistic sounds and tech.

The main aim of this game is to join Alto and his friends as you slope down wonderful landscapes and guide them across different routes. You also must avoid obstacles and learn a fantastic array of new tricks. It has a simple enough concept but it will take time to master it all.

The Sims 4

The Sims franchise has made it big across the world. As a social simulation video game, the franchise kicked off its journey back in 2000 earning itself thousands of fans. You can find a variety of themes in Sims games, so it comes as no surprise that in 2015, the game wasn’t in its usual classic format. Instead, we got a skiing game.

There is also an expansion pack that takes you on a made-up mountain called Mount Komorebi in Japan. You can take your Sims on a variety of snow adventures, including skiing, ice skating, snowboarding, sledging and even climbing amongst others. You don’t have to do it all. You only need to pick that one that suits you best and ensure that your sim keeps on getting better at its new skills.

Of course, typical of the Sims, you can design your own world. You can build wooden houses with fireplaces, spas and join snow festivals. The game’s options are endless, so you will never get bored again.

When Ski Gifts Go Wrong

Possibly everyone’s worst nightmare, the video game When Ski Lifts Go Wrong sees you safeguarding snowboarders and skiing from sliding dangerously down the mountains. You have to make sure that they reach their way to the top.

It is a puzzle and construction game, so it’s completely different from the other games in this list.

Go ahead try these video games and find the one that suits you best!
