A lot of fun :-)
First try of We Ski was today and really had a good time! We skipped "Ski School" at first and just went into freestyle mode where you can use your Mii to ski down slopes with varying difficulty.

Learned mostly by trial and error but after a few turns on the ski lift (which thankfully you can skip as it does get a bit boring) we then went to the Ski School tutorial to learn how to turn, jump, spin and all sorts of fun activities.

You can do the freestyle or have some competitive races and up to four people can play. You'll need a remote & nunchuk for each player. We do have a balance board but since only one person can use the board we did not try it with the game.

Great Game!
This is a great game using the wii fit balance board! I've skiied forever and found the sensation the closest you can get in your living room. You get to ski an entire mountain with various terrain, and enter races and other challenges. The response and sound changes from groomed to powder conditions, and you even have to compensate for the fall line when you're traversing slopes.

WII Ski DVD
This WII Ski was purchased for my grandson for Christmas. We gave it to him on Christmas Eve and he played with late into the night. On Christmas morning, after opening his gifts from "Santa" he began playing the WII Ski again.
