What is it?

A ski-resort tycoon with a real mountain under it

You start with a valley, a lodge and a little money. Raise and flatten terrain, paint pistes, build eleven kinds of lifts, add restaurants, ski schools and ranger stations, and watch tiny guests actually ski your slopes. The snowline moves with the seasons, so the mountain you build for winter has to earn its keep in summer too.

How it plays

Three steps, then a lot of “one more season”

Build

Lay a road, add a lift and paint a piste down the hill. Ranger Rudi and the goals card point at what to do next.

Open & watch

Guests arrive, queue, ski, eat and write reviews. Zoom in, ride along on a lift or walk through the village yourself.

Grow

Price your passes, run campaigns, take a loan, level up and unlock gondolas, funiculars and helipads. Then do it all again in summer.

Only here

Things you won’t find in other resort games

Everything is procedural

Every tree, building, texture, sound effect and piece of music is generated by code at runtime. The only files are two fonts.

Walk your own resort

Press V and drop into first person. Stroll the village, board a lift, take photos from eye level.

A real snowline

Snow depends on altitude and temperature. Spring skiing happens high up while the valley hikes. Plan for it or go broke in April.

Plays offline

Install it like an app. After the first visit the whole game and your saves work without a connection.

No tracking, no ads, no accounts

Saves live on your device (export them as .slope files). Nothing is uploaded, ever. This website has no trackers either.

Seasons & snowline

Four seasons. One valley. Very different jobs.

A year lasts 180 days with real weather, snowfall and a snowline that creeps up the mountain in spring. Winter is for skiing, spring for high-altitude “spring skiing”, summer for hiking and mountain biking, autumn for getting ready.

  • Snowmaking cannons and a reservoir keep the base open in thin years.
  • Day and night: groomers work the slopes after dark, windows glow.
  • Time your way: 1×, 3× and 10× speeds, plus “Skip to…” the next month, season or event.

Lifts & pistes

Eleven kinds of lifts, towers and all

From a humble T-bar to a ten-person gondola, a cable car and a funicular. Lifts get towers that follow the terrain and real clearance rules: cables must clear trees, roofs and other lifts, so you decide where to cut a forest lane.

  • Pistes by difficulty colour, checked for connection to a lift.
  • Grooming and snowmaking keep them in shape.
  • Breakdowns and wind close lifts; maintenance matters.

Lifts: eleven types, from T-bar to funicular.

Living guests

Every guest is an actual person on an actual slope

Families, couples, budget skiers, VIPs and adventurers. Skiers, snowboarders, hikers and bikers, each with their own gear, build and jacket. They queue, eat, get tired, get hurt and then tell you about it in their reviews.

  • Eight skin tones, nine head styles, sixteen jacket colours: a crowd that actually looks like a crowd.
  • Reviews on the news feed tell you what to fix.

Guests come in all shapes: skiers, boarders, families, hikers.

Mountain life

Run a resort, not just a slope

Ski patrol sleds, trained crews, first-aid huts and a rescue helicopter keep guests safe. Rare avalanches and storms close slopes. Bears wake in autumn, wolves roam the remote forest, and rangers keep everybody apart. Dramatic, never gory: nobody dies in this game.

  • Patrol, first aid, helipad coverage on a map overlay.
  • Wildlife you can manage with a ranger station and bear-proof bins.

Festivals, rivals & people

A valley that has something going on

Book a Christmas Market, a Winter Carnival, a Summer Music Festival or a World Cup race and watch the village dress up: bunting, banners, market stalls, processions and a grandstand. The Almabtrieb brings the decorated cows down in autumn. Neighbouring resorts compete for the same guests, and some guests arrive with a name and a wish of their own.

  • Six staff courses and four crews, all optional and automatic by default.
  • Sustainability counts in your rating, and a Green Resort award waits in the year report.
  • Undo and redo for everything you build, a slope profile while you draw and a Suggest a run helper.

Get closer

Ride along. Walk around. Take a photo.

Three ground-level modes turn your diorama into a place. Ride along with any guest from the lift to the bottom of the run, walk your own streets in first person, or compose a shot with filters, frames and golden-hour lighting and save it as a PNG on your device.

Career, scenarios & trophies

Goals to chase, stories to finish

In Career mode your resort levels up from “Open for business” to a world-class destination, unlocking bigger lifts along the way. Prefer a challenge? Six handcrafted scenarios, from a gentle first valley to the Alpine Giant. Every year closes with a Resort of the Year report, and 40 trophies unlock cosmetic rewards like new building palettes and photo frames.

Economy

Prices, passes, loans and the occasional marketing blitz

Set day-pass and season-pass prices, vary them by weekday and season, and see at once whether a price is cheap or expensive. Run campaigns for families, budget skiers, VIPs or summer adventurers, once you have what they need. Take a loan, mind the debt, and don’t forget summer still has to pay for itself.
