Ski Region Simulator no longer works, first mentions of this issue are from mid November 2021 and continue to persist. Reinstalling does not help. Using a sketchy "fix" from a third party which covertly installs a VPN on your PC also doesn't help (shocker, I know). Giants is aware of the problem but doesn't seem to care, likely because the non-steam SRS version sold via their website works just fine...so you should totally run out and buy the game again apparently?

Legit kicking myself for not having stuck with this last April and finishing it while it still worked, it used to be a fun if dated and a bit bare bones ski resort management sim.

I'll update this if Giants ever fixes it but something tells me they never will.

This game is not for everyone, but if you love simulations and building terrain parks for ski and snowboarding your in luck. I have played this game for over 50 hours and im still not even bored of it yet. You can buy snow cats, snowmakers, and pretty much every other machine used to make a great slope. I probably will never get bored of this game as it keeps me entertained and teaches me how to run+own a great ski slope. If you love simulators and skiing+snowboarding then this game is for you!!!

Kinda fun driving around on the snow but:

Pro's
1) Animation of the vehicle is quite good and accurate (looking at images of the real things)
2) Driving is passable (you slide a little on snow/ice) and larger attachments slow you down a little
3) Alot of things to buy (see con's "9")

Con's
1) Can't Ski (as first person, which is strange)
2) Very little to do after slopes are groomed
3) The ecomony is very Simple, No real managment apart from a little "station" tweaking
4) Very limited "tools" even with the 2 DLC's
5) No music, limited dynamic sound
6) Can't acidently run skier's over (would have been more fun if you had to avoid the skier's, or close the slope)
7) People dont get on or off ski lifts they just walk into the buildings black holes
8) Graphics are low quality but playable for such a cheap game
9) Most of the things you buy are pointless as you very quickly get to a point where you are generating money faster than you can spend it, and if you put the "missons" to 2min you baiscailly have unlimited money by spam running missions.

I would have like to have been able to build large snow mounds, or make my own ski tracks, Fly the helicopters, Build snow forts and trap skier's inside, Avalances and the list goes on and on, so many possiabilities and this game only provides the bare minimum to take your money, no creativity or imagination.

Being a big fan of Giants Software's Farming Simulator series, I was very curious about Ski Region Simulator when I first saw it. Being Canadian, you just have to love snow, or at least like it, if you're to remain sane living here. A love of skiing might be something you'd think of useful of this game, but you won't be snapping your boots into those bindings and shred the slopes in Whistler or Blackcomb. You get to manage a ski resort with some pretty detailed aspects of the whole business.
You start off with just 2 stations which are connected by a ski slope, and you need to ensure there's enough powder there and that it's groomed just right, which is a bit hard packed for my taste, but it's not back-country heli skiing in deep powder.
There are helicopters flying around, the rescue kind, but you don't get to fly them, only bring the 'injured' skiers from some of the missions to the helipad for medivac.
You get to buy more ski stations, from small to very large ones, which cost more based on their size. Own the stations at either end of a ski slope and you own it.
Then you get to build small to large support buildings all over the mountain, and these include from a simple Tourist Information outlet, to full size Conference Halls, Spa Retreats, Movie Theaters, and so on.
You get to choose what kind of service is offered in each building, which have a few selections for each one. The trick is to cover all demographics of your guests/clients, and the game has some nice statistical breakdowns to help you manage your resort. Young, Adult, Young Senior, Family, Single, Couple, Romantic, Party, Business, poor, middle-class, rich, and so on. Lots of info and details to manage day to day, even hour to hour.
And of coure, the best part! You get to drive all kinds of heavy machinery and 'play' in the snow.
All in all I'm really enjoying this Giants title, and the Gold edition includes both DLC packs. Also, there's some mods available, but not many. I think the best mods for the game have been made, and still being made, by Don Chris which can be found here: (Apparently posting a link in your review is considred 'spamming'.) So let me try to cheat here by masking the website for you. donchris.jimdo dot com
All in all I'm very happy with this game and glad I finally decided to buy it.

Basically a dulled down, even more casuasl game, than Farming Simulator. Pretty much same engine it seems, with different machines, slightly different "economics", but generally more of the same, but just up and down mountains, instead of fields. Only buy this if Farming Simulator isn't enough for you, otherwise stick to FS, which is the superior game.

I personally enjoyed this game.Made by GIANT the people who made Farming Simulator games the equipment handles the same.My only complaint it takes a while to earn money, you have to have patience and stick with it.It's a great way to pass time.What do you expect for 9.99.I bought this and Airport Simulator 2014 and i'm happy with my purchases.Good luck and Good gaming to all. P.S. I have'nt figured out how to throw the snowballs yet but i will.
