Background Info
Sierra Sports calls Ski Racing - 1999 Edition the ultimate winter sports simulation. Brand new options including Extreme, Freestyle skiing and Hot Dog Mode, on the more than 5,000 acres and two new mountains makes Ski Racing - 1999 Edition "a complete skiing experience."

The 1999 Edition still offers ski racing on six world class ski resorts: Mt. Bachelor, Val d'Isere, Garmisch, Vail, Whistler and Aspen Mountain. Skiing's most famous brand names are represented as well: including, Nordica, Spyder, K2, Scott, Head, Rossignol, Colmar, Obermeyer, Marker, Lange, Dynastar, Look, Bolle, Raichle, Atomic, and Briko.

Gold medalist, Picabo Street, offered suggestions that were instrumental to the accuracy, focus and fun found in Ski Racing - 1999 Edition. She is also featured in a series of video clips which provide inside tips on the finer points of each run. Street, the only Olympian with her own CD-ROM, buoyed the US Team effort at the Nagano Olympics this year with a Gold Medal in the Women's Super Giant Slalom.
