Snow Riders: How to Play, Controls and Tips
What is Snow Riders?
Snow Riders is a ski racing game by Sleepless Games, available on Poki. It is a different game from Snow Rider 2. Compete with other skiers down snowy courses, steer around obstacles, and collect gems along the route. Use rewards to upgrade equipment and unlock more levels and mountain maps.
Each race gives you a route to learn and other skiers to watch. Choose a line that leaves room for the next obstacle before moving toward a gem. Read the equipment and level menus between attempts, then return to the course with a clear idea of the section you want to improve.
