Welcome to Snowtopia, a world of endless winter fun.
Build the ideal ski resort to keep your skiers smiling all the way down the mountain. Get to know every cliff and crevice as you plan pistes, place lifts and build essential facilities. Take on the challenge to create a resort where life is always good!
Plan your pistes
Place pistes on the mountainside in just a few clicks with the easy-to-use creation tool. Read the terrain, and choose the best spot to lay down trails for every skier ability.
11 different types of ski lift give you plenty of choice for scaling the heights. 12-person gondola lifts are fast, but tricky to build on the steep mountain slopes. A two-person chairlift might be a better choice, but watch out for queues at the bottom!
Luckily, ever-advancing ski lift technology means there are always new options to try. The latest models can make even the highest peaks accessible in no time.
Plan, build and improve until you’ve created your dream ski area.
Welcome skiers of every kind
You might have thought perfect pistes were enough to keep skiers happy, but it’s not so simple. With 12 different skier profiles in the game, some are more interested in a good raclette, while others come to commune with nature. And then there are the hardcore ski fanatics, who won’t settle for anything less than the longest run the mountain has to offer.
There’s no money in Snowtopia. Make your skiers happy enough and they might join the team of volunteers running the resort. Divide your workforce between the lift operators, maintenance crew, service facilities, and resort improvement team.
Growing the reputation of your resort leads to more skiers on the slopes. But beware - more skiers means more accidents! Make sure you have enough snow groomers and ski patrols to keep the slopes safe at all times.
Remember, no one likes a broken chairlift, but everyone loves sunbathing on the terrace!
Sit back and chill on the mountain
Once your resort is built and your skiers are happy, you deserve a little break. So find yourself a perfect little corner on the mountain to drink it all in, maybe near a pretty forest piste next to a ski lift perched on a picturesque clifftop.
You’re in the mountains. Enjoy the frosty kiss of the cold air on your face and kick back to some cool tunes.
Welcome to Snowtopia, the game where it’s good to just chill.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Simulation management game that doesn't use money. I was worried at first, but it works really well. Happy thriving resort = more workers, which means you can keep expanding. Accidentally build that snow groomer in the wrong place? No worries no cost to you, just destroy it and rebuild. The game uses the standard interface and controls of the genre, so anyone familiar with simulation tycoon games will be right at home. It features a research tree and 4+ maps of varying difficulty to create your wonderful ski resort on.
Here is the first 30 minutes of the game if you want to see it in action.

This is one of those games that you can just pick up and play. There are some things that could use a little more explenation (such as where to place the piste patrol buildings). But in general it just kinda works. You can't really go wrong!
You do notice that it's an in-development title. A lot of optimisation is still to be done. Sometimes the game crawls to a halt (somewhere after the 1000 skiers mark). That's runnig it on a 5800X + 3070. I imagine something will be done about that at some point.
Overall I'm having fun with this and look forward to improvements.
Play time is 8 hours at the time of writing.
Generally a pretty fun game manager/tycoon game concept with cute-ish "comic- graphics. A lot of things already work fine and I have played about 6h.
Three big draw-backs that everyone should be aware of at this time and why I am saying this is definitely still in Early Access:
1. The previously described pathfinding bug of skiers skiing in circles is still prevalent. Restarting did not work for me, in my case it was usually a service building that caused the skiiers to go mental. Once demolished they all went on their merry ways.
2. Lift-Building problems: Slope/Gradient too steep. I specifically did all the research for lifts and had the options for smaller gondolas to go further, steeper and higher with my lifts. Unfortunately this system is broken. I can hardly build any gondolas, every time something is too steep. Funnily enough, I often times, can put a chair lift in the exact spots I wanted to build the gondolas... (Keep in my Gondolas allow steeper gradients [in theory!]). So the whole system of gradients and angles for steepness is broken, or at least not working properly. Makes it hard to reach to top of the mountains.... Also the base stations for lifts require too much flat space; kinda makes it hard to have back-to-back-lifts in the mountains.
3. While I do enjoy a good mostly-text-based eco-sim/tycoon game, I was really annoyed by the fact that I can see skiers and I can build buildings for Search/Rescue, Lift-Maintenance and Piste Maintenance, but I do NOT get to see any of those people leave their buildings to tend to their tasks. Whats the point of building all these buildings and not seeing the people in them go out on the slopes to do their things?! I was surprised how much this, rather cosmetic thing, bothered me.
Minor draw-back:
- Red notifications (left top corner) stay there forever. Even if all my pistes are at 100%, I apparently still have to do maintenance on 6 of them....
...technically unplayable for me. It seems to have a corruption problem on the saves at a certain level, which makes that I can't continue. The GOG version seems not updated at all, it's pretty sad, because I had fun playing this...
This building plopping simulator. This game lacks economic aspect, like at all. There are no employees, instead there are volunteers who are generated on a time restricted basis, and this restricts expansion of a resort, and that turns into a waiting game... So yeah, no economic aspect that turns into a waiting game. This fixed and some nice night/day cycle and this would be a gem.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
