What Makes Grand Mountain Adventure Stand Out
Explore entire mountains in this open-world skiing & snowboarding adventure! Land the biggest cliff drops in the backcountry, freeride down a steep chute, clip the gates in a slalom track, stomp a perfect park run, or just explore the vast ski resorts – the choice is yours!
Note:
This is a demo version with the first mountain available for free. Purchase the full game to unlock all 7 mountains and get the twin-tip skis and board.
Features:
- 7 huge open-world mountains to explore
- 100+ different challenges to master
- 10+ different types of challenges (including Super G, Slopestyle, Freeride, Big Air and more)
- Cross-device multiplayer over Wifi
- Game Controller/Joypad support
- Online leaderboards to compete in
- Vivid ski resorts with busy slopes, avalanches, wildlife, and sunsets
- Absolute freedom to ski wherever you want, and ride any lift you like without loading screens or interruptions
- Advanced trick system with flips, spins, corks, rails, combos and more
- 20+ hours of gameplay to complete all mountains
- Zen mode
Winter 2021 Expansion:
The expansion includes three new mountains and can be purchased from within the game. Introducing:
- Pinecone Peaks, USA – A massive resort that combines long pistes, large backcountry areas and a wide range of snow parks, with rails and kickers for all skill levels.
- Ben Ailig, Scotland – Slushy spring skiing in the middle of farms, grazing land, gorges, and impressive rock formations.
- Mount Fairview, Canada – A picturesque resort amid dense forests and slow rivers with flawlessly groomed slopes and thrilling Super G tracks.
Multiplayer:
Gather your friends, connect to the same Wifi and explore the mountains together. Compete in races or try out the new battle mode where you throw snowballs and plant rails to send your friends off the course. Up to 16 players can play together at once.
Gameplay:
The adventure starts at the bottom of Hirschalm, a sleepy ski resort in the midst of the alps. Strap on your skis or board and head down to the lift while picking up the basics like turning and jumping.
Take the lift up to Almhütte and try your first slalom challenge. Completing challenges earns you Ski Passes which are used to unlock ski lifts which takes you to new parts of the mountain.
As you advance up the mountain you have to tackle a variety of challenges like slalom, slopestyle, ski cross, and big air. Now perfect carving turns will not be enough but you also have to start practicing tricks, rails, and drops to complete the challenges.
And don’t forget to get off the slopes and head into the backcountry areas. Apart from deep powder and clean lines, you will discover hidden challenges and secret Ski Passes. But be careful – outside the groomed runs there are bears, wolves, avalanches, falling trees, and other hazards waiting for you!
This Sports game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We wish that the person that made this would make a snow boarding version of it. It is also a very very great game.
We love this game soooooo much and Im obsessed with it! We really love all the skins and maps (except Greenland its boring) ! We really love Norway right now and we want you to make a map of Norway! Just consider it. Write us back if you think its a good idea.
Omg we personally love the game so much! And instead of being a simple skiing game you can actually see how much work was put into it! Plus, we also think its funny because when you jump/crash into an npc, we love how they just go like we love the graphics we love how much work was put into it and we just love everything about it. We just wish we could link our Game Center accounts because every time we delete it to save up storage or for a software Update, when we redownload it it loses all our progress. This does not make an impact on the game itself, so its still good.
We don't like how you can't ski backwards which is stupid um we mean unless you have the perk for it but still it's stupid also yeah it's really fun but it would be awesome if we could ski backwards because it's not hard in real life um Nope.
We have 46/48 ski passes on mountain one but cant find any last challenge to progress.
Honestly went into this game blind and did the try before you buy demo 100% worth the five bucks we think it costed, we wouldnt remember because Ive gotten our moneys worth ten times over.
This game is so well thought out it really works like a real resort the different mountains are all perfectly modeled we dont love the paywall for regular snowboards and skis (still got it though) we also wish they would make more camera options like first person or follow cam but a minor complaint we would also like a different speed building system than just turning but it works the best part of this game? The little kid skiers Its just like real life running into them is so fun please make a better gui system though it would be cool if you could fast travel to the lodge and do stuff instead of backpack and map.
We started thinking that it wouldnt be fun and then we fell in love with it so good 10/10.
Nothing gets us as excited to go back out and ski as this game! And its just so relaxing. Perfect for both the odd five minutes between tasks and for a good thirty minute session. Really wonderful.
We love this game. Smooth gameplay, good graphics, no ads its everything you want in a game. We can tell the devs are skiers. Super fun.
We grind 24/7 this game is so good.
This game is absolutely awesome!!!! Feels like your shredding in real life.
We bought this game because it looked like a blast. We a. Rarely right but in this instance Im glad we were! Its easy to pick up but hard to put down.
This game is so fun we beat it in one day its seriously one of the best games and more people should know about it and download this game.
Can you please add a snowmobile that can wheelie that would be awesome. And probably make it a lil realistic.
Got this game loved it then purchased the full game. It was worth it Lots more mountains and the twin tip skis are awesome. Then we got the skin pack with different characters and our favorite Is the penguin. Overall this game has good quality and lots to explore.
Ive been playing Grand Mountain adventure one for years and its never gotten old. Sure, even after purchasing the all the mountains + expansion we double diamonded the challenges rather sooner than Id liked, but even after those were done, we could still go for top 100 top 20 or even top 10 on global leaderboards. Thank you all for making it ad free. The music and graphics are spot on and we cant wait to play GMA2.
Literally the best game we have ever played, ever.
This game has been so much fun even after you beat it personally you dont have to buy for the other mountains the best thing that you can do if you already beat it is playing to beat your high scores and then if you get really board try playing alto or just buy the other mountains but in all this game comes out on top.
We were absolutely dedicated to the first game for about a year and never realized they came out with a second one and after finally dealing with automatically dying of u touch the mountain side and the new braking system is all Ive ever asked for.
Grand Mountain Adventure and now GMA2 are hands down best ski games ever! The challenges are fun and engaging, but the real beauty of the game is how it actually feels like skiing, and feels like being at the resort. The attention to details on the chairlifts (T-bars and Poma platters too!), the other skiers, the whole experience. So good! Just cruzing around the open snow-globe world in zen mode and finding your flow is a blast. Possibly only addition we would wish for is a backcountry set up – some touring skis and climbing skins for the far reaches of some maps. Maybe even some uphill or skimo challenges.
We purchased the full game and enjoyed it so much, so much to explore! Great graphics and challenging runs.
Once in a rare while a truly special game comes along, this is one of those games.
We cant really think of another game like this on one mobile its beautiful, fun, relaxing, and just a great, immersive escape. At the end of a long day, its exactly what we need.
We got sad when we finished the game. Please add more maps.
Hands down the best game ive ever played. The free version is so good that you have to buy the 6.99 version. Love this.
Its a nice game.if its free,that will be better.
We love this game but we wish it had cloud save backup. If we uninstall the game we lose all our progress.
It is so fun but a little hard but it is still fun.
This game is a lot of fun and it is very peaceful. But one thing that could make it better is FIRST PERSON mode. Developers, if you can, please add first person mode.
We get everything gold except one trail when im on a finnish a violin sound plays and our skis slow down is this glitch or part of the game.
Straight to the point really awesome great graphics very simple gameplay nothing forces ads on you or to pay you. Just get a play a game and thats awesome. It also the game so simple and nice. Eventually you can do some skill related things in going down the mountain, and do some challenges as well, its all about skiing.
This game is very fun! We bought the full version to get most of the mountains and it is totally worth it! We love how there are no ads and you can play with no WiFi! Its fun finding new paths and figuring out new tricks! We will probably buy the 3 extra maps! One thing that would be nice is to have a first person view. We like how the design is very simple and clean! We also think the rewind button is such a great addition to the game! Overall we definitely recommend this game! Im excited for the next game.
It is so good we play so much games and this is one that we play the most you should install it. We cant wait until part two gonna come out go to play every day.
This is the best game Ive ever played on the iOS store. Im struggling to even offer a criticism but if we had to it would be to have less fences and obstructions where we might land a jump. But like we said this game is so good we play this on steam deck and it rocks.
Controls are useless. Camera is too far away. It's just a dot on a white background.
Runs so smooth, graphics and physics are great especially for an iPhone app. Doesnt bombard you with ads!!! This is our go to and has been for a few weeks now, HIGHLY recommend! Yearly ski trip coming up and this app recreates resort and backcountry skiing so well.
This Game is very relaxing and very fun too play as a skiing person we think its very and realistic.
Extremely fun, replayable, and some really high-difficulty challenges. Just saw 2 is coming out and Ill be getting it plus buying any add-ons.
The best mobile skiing game and one of the best skiing games total. The paywall is steep but it is definitely worth it.
We miss our sons funeral to play this game. This game is so good. Makes us bust.
After playing this game for about 2 weeks we felt the need to write how we feel since we downloaded this game.. We freaking love it! It gets more challenging the further you make it in game progress. Physics 9/10 Graphics 10/10 Fun 10/10 we liked the free version so much that we bought the full game, and then we purchased the skins. We do wish there were more options between the skis and the snowboards but in all Im thrilled! The hanks for releasing the best mobile game of 2024.
This is such a fire game. Easy number 1 snowboarding game. Love it.
After a long day of school, we always appreciate just listening to awesome music and just doing cool tricks in the snow is always so crisp when we push our skis around five out of five definitely recommend.
This game is grate it alright if you dont have the full game if you dont get the full game then your missing out, we love this game one of our favorites.
Make the music available during gameplay. We love the menu music, its very relaxing and wish we could hear that while we were shredding gnar.
This game is the best game Ive played in decades.
We have the first expansion and the skins that come with it but we can use the skins because they are now behind a paywall, we could use them a few weeks ago, can you please fix this, thanks.
This game is incredible, one of few quality mobile games that are free. Great graphics, good quality, tons of gameplay even with one mountain! You do have to pay for the other mountains but we found the purchase to be worth it. The thing that amazes us the most is that is open world, we dont know any other skiing/snowboarding game that is like this that allow you to explore the entire mountain.
We really enjoy playing this game, even though the free version is pretty limited. Also, we LOVE THE NO ADS!!!! Never remove that. We would suggest adding backwards skiing though, thatd be pretty cool.
