Roll your snowball down the mountain and make it as big as possible by the time you reach the bottom.

Who can make the biggest snowball?

How to Play

Steer your snowball as it rolls down the mountain. It collects snow and gets bigger as it rolls through the snow. It loses snow when it hits an obstacle or rolls over bare ground. You can jump over low obstacles and go under trees without damage if your snowball is very small. Moguls will launch your snowball into the air. You cannot steer when in the air, and don't collect snow, so time your jumps carefully.

You are scored by the size of your snowball when you reach the bottom of the mountain.

Your progress down the mountain and current size of your snowball are shown at the top of the screen.

Collect presents to get a temporary power-ups:

  • Heavy: Your ball will squash moguls. The snow from the mogul will be added to your snowball.
  • Ghost: You pass through obstacles without damage. Your ball is semi-transparent while in ghost mode.
  • Slow-mo: Your ball travels more slowly. This makes it easier to avoid obstacles and and gives you more time to pick up snow.
  • Sticky: Your ball collects snow faster.

Your ball emits magical sparkles while a power-up is active.
