My 9 year old LOVES it, he likes how it uses the balance board to lean side to side and turn, likes the nine different courses, thinks it's "very, very AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!" Those are all his words :) As the mom, I like how it's very physical. I got ONE turn so far- it was hard, the nuances of turning, etc. You need to do the "ski school" tutorial to learn the different movements. I want to get on it more, but have a hard time getting a turn, between my nine year old and his twin five year old sibs. I'm very happy they all want to play this (vs our old game cube where they stare like zombies at the screen). I've been happy with all our Wii games thus far.
I don't consider myself old but I'm no young chicken either. I tried this out and actually had some fun with this. I even kinda hurt the next day. Not bad, especially for the price.

If you are looking for a way to practice during the off-season, this isn't it. It is, however a great deal of fun. Using it without the Wii balance board is not intuitive, so by all means, get the board. Turning is somewhat realistic, but anything but a short radius turn does not control speed when parallel skiing. Mogul skiing is also unrealistic. With all of the shortcomings, I still recommend it. It is great for the novice skier to learn turn timing. Running into other skiers is also big fun.
Lots fun when you can't ski for real. Realistic Wii game play and love that you can ride the chair with your friends. Wish there were more hills to ski on. Highly recommend.

I had watched a video that reviewed We Ski. It looked like so much fun and you can use the Wii balance board too. They also have such cute little people that ski. I checked the game out for about 45 minutes today and there is just so much to do in this game. I had a great time and I'll get it back out when the weather gets bad and play it some more. I've never even put a ski on before but did get the hang of it quite quickly. Can't wait to play it again. Sounds like a snow/ice storm is heading towards Missouri. What perfect timing.
