Snowboarders

Right now every guest on the mountain is on skis. One of them will even complain about it if you leave them standing around long enough. We want to fix that. Snowboarders would come in as their own guest type, with their own animations and their own lines down the hill. They'd also want different things from the resort than skiers do. A boarder is going to look for a park and a decent pipe, and won't care as much about a long groomed cruiser. Rough shape of the work: - Board rentals, and board stock in the pro shop - Riding animations and turn shapes that aren't just reskinned skiing - Terrain park pieces you can place and groom - Instructors who teach boarding, so ski school splits into two tracks No date on this one yet. It reaches into the guest sim, the animation set and the build menu all at once, so it's a chunk of work rather than a quick add. Vote it up if you want it sooner, and tell us in the comments which part matters most to you.

    I think this isnt eventual must-have - but as described, needs to be more than just an art change. Snowboarding and skiing impact the logistics of lifts, snow, trails, beginners-vs-veterans.. all in different interesting ways for a management sim like this.

    Are they going to sit in the middle of the run, smoke in the lift line, and play music on portable speakers?

    I guess snowboarders would not mind long groomed cruisers as long as they don't have too many flat or ascending parts. They also like going off piste on a powder day.
