    Thoughts after the first hour or two

    As an avid skiier, so far all I've done in this game is ski, so all my feedback is a result of skiing.

    - I wish there was a button to swap from skiing backwards to forwards, jumping and only pulling a 180 is hard
    - First person view right now is a serious struggle, i like how going backwards you swap shoulders, but its very bouncy and the ski tips don't look great
    - I think it would be really cool if you could unlock and assign new tricks, just like you can a jacket or helmet
    - I am pretty inconsistent at timing my jump and rotation, might be my fault though
    - Love the music, would love some display/controls for it, and for it to not constantly reset everytime you reset. Also integrate with your own music library so I can play all my Odezsa
    - Can holding stop while on skis actually stop you instead of having to swap to walk mode?
    - Its probably me being dumb but I dont know how to ride all these hot air balloons
    - I think the tutorial is good, and I like the progression system overall. If possible would like to see some actual ski brands so I can rep my Lines
    - Sometimes if you dont jump you feel like you are magneting to the ground, would rather it not
    - I dont know if having different depths of snow is in the cards, but getting into some deep pow and having the controls change dynamically would be pretty rad
    - On the topic of controls, I dont know why exactly I dont like them, but I'm not a huge fan right now. Im sorry thats not more helpful
    - Saw some other comments on a similar note, but having something other than just ragdolling around after you wreck yourself would be fun
    - default to first person camera?

    So far, despite the insanity of first person, I've had the most fun with it. Makes me long for the snows and winter, and I think you have to cater towards that crowd that just wants to ski in the middle of summer. I think some TLC to first person would go a long way

    Great job so far, love the concept and I think you have some good stuff in there!

    Unlock and assign new tricks

    I thought of this. Would be a great way to make it so players have to work their way up to becoming a pro rider. Would give players access to stunts and tricks that give them more points.

    Magnet to the ground

    I've had this happen a couple times but not often. Might be a bug.

    Different Snow Depths

    Not a bad idea! Would constantly change the pace and keep snowboarding and skiing from feeling repetitive.

    Ragdolling

    I enjoy watching my character ragdoll everywhere when they crash so I would be against changing it BUT it would be nice to have a way to slow yourself down so you can get up faster.

    -A button would be nice, but I think with some combination with left and right stick you can butter 180 back to facing forward.
    -I kind of like the bounce as it looks exactly like actual GoPro helm edits, but yeah the tips in the snow doesn't look that good.
    -Left or right stick held down will stop you eventually without opening up any menus or changing to walking
    -If there's a number next to them and they are black you have to level up first. Otherwise move your cursor over the ones unlocked

    edit, realized you may be playing on a keyboard. Not sure about anything for that control scheme
