How to win: Collect the highest number of points by banking ski runs.

Game setup: Separate out the lift cards and shuffle the rest of the pack to create the draw pile. Each player is dealt 1 lift card and 4 cards from the draw pile face down. The remaining cards are placed in the centre of the table to create two separate piles, lifts cards in one and the draw pile face down in the other. If the draw pile becomes exhausted you may restore the draw pile by recycling played action cards and run cards eliminated by avalanches, but make sure not to include avalanche cards.

On your turn: Pick up 2 cards from either the draw pile or the lift card pile, or pick up 1 of each. Play up to 3 cards. If you run out of cards in your hand pick up 1 lift card and 4 cards from the draw pile on your next turn.

Playing your cards: On your turn cards are played face up in front of you going horizontally from left to right. You must always begin a ski run with a lift card. Run cards can thereafter be played to the right. You may start a ski run with any colour of run. You may only go on one ski run at a time.

Bonus points: You gain an extra 4 bonus points when you link 5 or more run cards together in a ski run. This does not include lift cards.

Run Cards: Green/Blue/Red/Black: Run cards are linked together to score points. A run card may link to another run card of the same or neighbouring colour. For example: A blue run card can link to a green, blue or red run card but is unable to link to a black run card.

Banking your ski runs: Banking will count as your whole turn. To bank a ski run safely stack all the cards in the ski run in the correct order and place to the side. Make sure not to mix your banked ski runs together. Once a ski run is banked it is safe, even from an avalanche. Only points from banked ski runs are totalled at the end. You may bank as many ski runs as you like.

The end of the game: The game ends as soon as the 5th avalanche card hits the table. Each player then totals all points from their banked ski runs, remembering to include bonus points. Going clockwise, each payer will announce their total score. The player who played the final avalanche card will announce first. The player with the highest score wins the game.
