In Family Ski, up to four skiers can test their skills on more than a dozen runs from the bunny slopes to the most challenging Black Diamonds. Not only can players carve through the trails using the motion-based controls but they can also mix in the Wii Balance Board for a whole new level of realism. Players can ski using their own Mii or create a new character with a host of customisable options including changeable face and body types. Boosting the customisation feature, additional skis, poles, goggles, and costumes can be unlocked.
