Skiing, snowboarding and everything else on a slope
The core of the shelf is the downhill run: a skier or a snowboarder pointed at the bottom of a mountain, with trees, rocks and other riders in the way and a ramp every so often for a trick. Some are timed slaloms with gates to hit, some are endless runs where the only goal is distance, and some are stunt games that score you for spins and grabs and punish a bad landing with a face full of snow. The sports games hub has the more formal competitions; the racing games hub has the ones where beating another rider is the point.
Around the slope sits the rest of winter: sled and toboggan runs, snowball fights against a neighbor or a yard full of snowmen, ice-skating and ice-slide games, and puzzles skinned with snowflakes and frozen ponds. A lot of that overlaps with the christmas games shelf, and the two are worth browsing together in December.
Lean, tilt and tap
Skiing and snowboarding games control like a runner with a lean: left and right arrows to carve, up or space to jump, and in the trick games a second key or a swipe to rotate in the air. Speed builds on its own, so the skill is mostly in choosing a line and knowing when to slow down. On a phone the same games use tilt or hold-left-and-hold-right steering, and the endless downhill titles are among the best of the run games family for a thumb.
The 3D games on the shelf follow the rider from behind and want a keyboard; the flat side-on games are simpler and work anywhere. Snowball fights are aim-and-throw with a mouse or a drag, and the sled games are pure physics — lean back on the bumps and hope. If you like the downhill feel but want an engine, the bike games hub is the closest dry-land cousin.

Winter without the cold
Snow games are gentle by nature. Falling off a snowboard is a comedy beat, a snowball to the face is the worst injury anyone suffers, and there is nothing on the shelf a parent needs to screen. The downhill and trick games suit anyone who likes speed and a good line; the sledding and snowball games are for younger players and for a five-minute break; the frozen-pond puzzles are for people who would rather think than steer.
The shelf is online all year, and a summer run down a virtual mountain is still cold enough. The penguin games hub lives in the same landscape with a bird for a hero, the kids games hub holds the simplest of these titles, and arcade games has the short score-chasing rounds if the snow is incidental to what you want.

Are these ski games or snowboard games?
Read moreShow less
Both, plus everything else that happens on snow. The shelf collects skiing, snowboarding, sledding, snowball fights, ice slides and winter-themed puzzles under one heading. The sections above separate the skiing and snowboarding titles when the catalog has enough of each.
How do snow games control on a phone?
Read moreShow less
The downhill games steer by tilting the phone or by holding the left or right side of the screen, and a tap jumps. The side-on sled and snowball games are tap-and-drag and feel natural on touch. The three-dimensional runs are smoother with a keyboard.
Are snow games suitable for kids?
Read moreShow less
Yes, across the board. The worst that happens is a tumble into a snowbank or a snowball to the face, and the controls are simple enough for a young player. The sledding and snowball titles are the easiest starting point.
