Access roads and parking lots as buildable infrastructure, with guests arriving by car.

In Review

Roads & Parking

Jesse Zigthor

High-alpine terrain and the village culture that comes with it.

The Alps

Hand-authored starting situations with set objectives. A failing resort to turn around, a bad snow year, a fixed budget.

Gameplay Scenarios

Allowing lifts to only allow skiers from above them to access. For instance, I have a lift that I have put halfway up the mountain to allow expert and intermediate skiers to get back to the top of the mountain more quickly, but there are also people walking from the base up to this lift as well, which isn’t realistic. Allowing lifts to only be accessed by someone “skiers in progress” I think would fix this issue.

Halfway Lifts

Australia & New Zealand

Invented mountains that no real-world elevation data could give us.

Fictional Peaks

Canada

Would be realistic to include surface/drag lifts such as Magic Carpets, Rope Tows, Pomas and T-bars

Right now the only way to improve an old lift or building is to bulldoze it and start over. That's changing.Lifts: bubble shields for wind protection, heated seats, a loading carpet to speed up boarding, or converting a fixed-grip lift to detachable. All cheaper than a full rebuild.Buildings: same deal for restaurants, rest lodges, and the rest — bolt on more capacity or new amenities instead of tearing the whole thing down.

Building & Lift Upgrades

Give the player control over where queue lines form at buildings and lift terminals.

Queues are currently placed for you. Being able to define the line yourself - its path, its length, where it starts and how it folds - means you can route a busy lift queue away from a trail runout, keep a rental shop line from blocking a doorway, and lay out a base area that still works when the resort gets busy.

Defining building and lift queues

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.

Snowboarders

Lay down walking paths that connect your buildings - not roads, but the pedestrian routes guests actually use to get around the base area.

Right now guests find their own way across open ground between lodges, huts, ticket offices and lift terminals. Paths would let you author those routes deliberately: shape where foot traffic flows, keep crowds off the snow you want to stay pristine, and make a base area read as a designed place rather than a scattering of buildings.

Paths between buildings

Lift-served downhill mountain biking trails that reuse existing lift infrastructure during the off-season.

Summer Activities: Mountain Biking

Rails, jumps, and halfpipes, plus the freestyle guests who come for them.

Terrain Parks

Ski your own resort. Hop into first person, ride a lift up, and take a run down the trails you built, so you can feel how they ride instead of only watching guests do it.

First-person skiing

Open the mountain to guests during the off-season (May-October) with hiking trails, turning the currently guest-free off-season into a light secondary revenue stream.

Summer Activities: Hiking Trails

Host weddings, festivals, and concerts at lodges and base areas during the off-season.

Summer Activities: Hosting Events

Swedish ski mountains don't look like anything in the game right now. They're low, rounded fells that top out above the treeline, so most of the skiing happens on bare, wind-scoured snow with nothing to break up the view. Wide open faces, long flat runouts, and in midwinter you're skiing in half-light for most of the day.

We're planning to add Sweden as a region.
