A couple hours into Steep I stumbled upon an unassuming event called "Saloman Challenge", which looked to be another checkpoint run through a forest with a sports equipment manufacture's name slapped on top. What followed was honestly one of the coolest moments of my entire gaming career.

Starting out at the top of a sloping mountain, me and another player (who I was not racing, he just happened to be playing the same mission at the same time as me) slowly made our way through the mountain over the course of 7 minutes as the sun began to set on the Alps. In the background, The Cinematic Orchestra's "To Build a Home" played as both of us weaved between trees and skidded down mountainsides. The combination of a relaxed time limit and the game's wonderful winter aesthetic made this journey feel almost dream-like, amounting to an unhurried stroll through the game's environment.

While the majority of the game consists of high-octane winter sport stunts and nail-biting time limits, at the end of the entire experience and all 115 challenges, this one event still sticks in my mind to this day.

I remember playing SSX3 for the PS2 some years ago and man... That game was a true snowboard game! Nothing like this crap.
There are no pipes or objects where you can make tricks which is really disappointing for this type of game. The best way you can make tricks is with the small hills you find on the snow.
I love snowboard as a sport but this game feels narrow, restricted for absolute no reason.
The graphics are the best part of this game and there are more sports besides snowboard.
I guess you could explore more games that feature snowboard besides this one. It's not my cup of tea but each individual is different.
