Ski down the mountain using trail tiles. The player with the most points, wins (not the first to finish).

Players are given 10 tiles. On each turn, lay as many as you wish, to trace a route whilst avoiding trees. Used tiles are replaced. The game ends when any player reaches the base and each player has taken equal turns.

Earn points for;
- completing a trail (25 points)
- laying tiles; straight (1 point), right angle turn (2 points), sharp turn (3 points), crossover (10 points)
Lose points for unused tiles.

For solitaire play, select 50 tiles and ski down the mountain using as many tiles as possible. An entertaining strategy game.
