Sights and Sounds

This is the voice of the Abominable Snow Monster.

This is what he sounds like at dinner.

This is where baby snow monsters come from:

Here is the crappy Windows icon I made:

Here is the nice icon that some graphic artist at Microsoft made:





Download

Get SkiFree here (39409-byte ZIP containing one 118784-byte Windows 32-bit EXE).
This is the latest version (1.04) compiled for 32-bit Windows, which should also work on Wine and 64-bit Windows.
If for some reason that ZIP file doesn't work for you, try downloading the uncompressed 118784-byte EXE file instead.
For historical interest, you could download the original 16-bit SkiFree 1.0 that shipped as part of the Windows Entertainment Pack in 1991. It does work on most 32-bit Windows systems, but not very well. If you can't get it to work in Windows XP, try this: Configure Windows XP to run 16-bit Windows programs. That has fixed the problem for a few people so far. Most likely you want to get the latest 32-bit version instead.

Was there ever any way to outrun that son of a bitch?
Additionally, the world loops around on itself, and everything outside the boundary of the piste triggers the monster. The player can attempt to outrun the monsters by toggling the "F" key and increasing the speed of the skier. After a while of skiing downhill (unless in the right spot), the level will loop back on itself, if however you get a clear run through the trees you will be presented with a second level containing two rows of snow monsters 5 per side, with no chance of escaping.
