Summary

Val d'Isère Skiing and Snowboarding brings the famed French resort to the Atari Jaguar, reimagining the SNES hit Tommy Moe's Winter Extreme with a fresh map and brand‑new trail layouts. Players can pick either ski or snowboard and dive into three distinct modes—Freeride’s arcade‑style runs, a Training arena for polishing slalom and giant‑slalom techniques, and a Compete circuit that strings together championships and finals. The game uses a behind‑the‑rider view, letting you accelerate, brake, jump and carve sharp turns while dodging trees, snowmobiles and even sno‑cats. A two‑player turn‑based system lets friends alternate on any mode, and progress is automatically saved to the cartridge’s internal EEPROM; a hidden cheat code unlocks extra options at the main menu. Developed by the same Virtual Studio crew that handled the SNES original, the Jaguar version shipped first in North America in December 1994, then Europe and Japan later that year. Though reviews were mixed—some praising its speed and variety, others critiquing its graphics—the title managed to sell close to 10,000 copies by early 1995, cementing its niche place among winter‑sport games of the era.
