I recently purchased this game for $9. Not a bad deal in my opinion. It's a pretty great game overall. I'll give you the important details interested buyers would like to know. If you like managing a ski resort and riding around on a snowmobile all day, this is the game for you. Pretty decent graphics, but nothing compared to GTA 5. The physics of the driving is not the greatest but you get used to it after playing a while. Are you thinking too many skiers on the slopes so you cant drive up them?? Not a problem, if you accidentally run them over, nothing happens. You go right through them unaffected. The game starts out pretty slow with just 1 slope and your main ski resort station to manage. You don't start out with too much money so for starters, right off the bat, you should definitely purchase one of the snowmobiles in the shop, a rescue transport sled, and a regular equipment sled for transporting goods. Aside from grooming your first slope which is basically required, start doing missions immediately and set the missions for every 2 minutes. You really can rack up a lot of $$ doing missions so you are able to purchase better vehicles, equipment, more slopes, hotels, and more facilities by your ski stations. This a fairly easy game to manage. There is not too much micro-managing going on. You only need to worry about checking your ticket prices daily for change, making sure your slopes have snow and are well groomed for your customers(easy to see in the map display), and buying the optional facilities(Ski patrol station, Kiosks, Drug stores, training schools, etc) at your slope stations. That's pretty much it. I like it so far and don't regret the purchase. Very cool game! 5/5

I personally enjoyed this game.Made by GIANT the people who made Farming Simulator games the equipment handles the same.My only complaint it takes a while to earn money, you have to have patience and stick with it.It's a great way to pass time.What do you expect for 9.99.I bought this and Airport Simulator 2014 and i'm happy with my purchases.Good luck and Good gaming to all. P.S. I have'nt figured out how to throw the snowballs yet but i will.

7/10 Basically a farming simulator clone. If you love farming sim, then you will like this! You won't find many better games with this much value for such a low price. I give it a 7 because it doesn't have quite the same feeling as farming sim. It doesn't have the depth. These guys have the sim genre down pat. Controls are smooth and not complicated. If you have made it this far and are reading this...BUY IT!

Well where do i start...firstly i am a strong simulation game player YES i love simulations so i guess that makes me a bit of a pro when it comes to testing the games and giving a comment and review on a game i have played and tested, so now we come to Ski Region Simulator - Gold Edition i have played this game constant for 192 hours and find it is a very good game it has many missions and you need to keep your eye on your hotels and once in a while change your preferences to meet the holiday makers so you get a good popularity, it is very easy to play and would suit all ages and it has many tools and equipment you can buy to make the game interesting the graphics is good but could be better as we have the hardware in this day and age to have excellent graphics for this type of game but in saying that in the real world you would not see much more in the swiss alps then what you see in this game lets be honest you would see mostly mountains with snow and some cabins and that's about it. I do find that the vehicles react just as they would in real life as they slide on the snow and each vehicle has it's own carectoristics the general design of the game is good for a ski resort game as one can't expect too much for a game that only costs £6.99 let's be honest here this game should of had at least a retail price between £11.99 to £12.99 so for £6.99 which includes DLC 1 and 2 we should be very happy as they are almost giving it away. You will need to put in a lot of time playing this game to advance and achieve the the tasks of completing the achievements it has set you and this game has 18 steam achievements which are not all easy to do as it takes time to build up money to buy equipment and vehicles and run your resort (That's if you don't cheat and use any cheats to achieve the goals set for you) the hardest achievement will be to find all 100 gnomes as i have only found 68 so far as they are well hidden, i find this game will give you much enjoyment and you can even add mods to improve the game even more and maybe add more different types of missions and equipment, this game has a level editor and is single or multi-player and much more. It would be nice to see steam add more achievements and trading card drops and the developers even add more expansions as i think this game has much promise and will be a good seller to all types of game players also what would be nice is if the player can ski (1st person and 3rd person mode) in the game and see ski tournaments in the game and take part in them too and even gamble on who will win also it would be nice to see the clouds move in the sky just like real clouds and a place or large shed to store your tools and equipment that you buy also it would be nice to see vehicles parked in the car parks and RPGs coming and going from car parks and hotels and see the RPGs having snowball fights and interacting with each other like romantic couples walking together and you can interact with the RPGs too so to try to make it as real as possible, there is much one can do to take this game to the next stage of advancement, I am no game designer but if i was i could improve this game better and add more things to do and items in the game and make this game a simulation that will live in gamers minds for many years to come. I can see a couple of issues which is not nice such as the car parks don't fill up with snow as they are supposed too they always show up 100% clear also 75% of the equipment is not needed as there is no mission to use it but i am sure the developers will correct this soon. I am impessed with this game even as it stands now but would buy more DLC if ever released. This is a game you will want to have if you like simulations i agree it is not the best simulation ever made as i have seen some very top end flight sims but then they cost at least 8 to 9 times more in price and this type of sim is rare to find and at such a low price you won't get dissapointed after buying it (I have no wish to offend anyone) but for anyone to comment on a game when playing it for less then 5 hours really can't give a fare comment as to be truthful you need to give a game the chance to prove itself before anyone can give a true comment and rating and that takes lots of hours of gameplay.

Being a big fan of Giants Software's Farming Simulator series, I was very curious about Ski Region Simulator when I first saw it. Being Canadian, you just have to love snow, or at least like it, if you're to remain sane living here. A love of skiing might be something you'd think of useful of this game, but you won't be snapping your boots into those bindings and shred the slopes in Whistler or Blackcomb. You get to manage a ski resort with some pretty detailed aspects of the whole business. You start off with just 2 stations which are connected by a ski slope, and you need to ensure there's enough powder there and that it's groomed just right, which is a bit hard packed for my taste, but it's not back-country heli skiing in deep powder. There are helicopters flying around, the rescue kind, but you don't get to fly them, only bring the 'injured' skiers from some of the missions to the helipad for medivac. You get to buy more ski stations, from small to very large ones, which cost more based on their size. Own the stations at either end of a ski slope and you own it. Then you get to build small to large support buildings all over the mountain, and these include from a simple Tourist Information outlet, to full size Conference Halls, Spa Retreats, Movie Theaters, and so on. You get to choose what kind of service is offered in each building, which have a few selections for each one. The trick is to cover all demographics of your guests/clients, and the game has some nice statistical breakdowns to help you manage your resort. Young, Adult, Young Senior, Family, Single, Couple, Romantic, Party, Business, poor, middle-class, rich, and so on. Lots of info and details to manage day to day, even hour to hour. And of coure, the best part! You get to drive all kinds of heavy machinery and 'play' in the snow. All in all I'm really enjoying this Giants title, and the Gold edition includes both DLC packs. Also, there's some mods available, but not many. I think the best mods for the game have been made, and still being made, by Don Chris which can be found here: (Apparently posting a link in your review is considred 'spamming'.) So let me try to cheat here by masking the website for you. donchris.jimdo dot com All in all I'm very happy with this game and glad I finally decided to buy it.
