    Metro Ski Challenge really is one of the strangest experiences that I've had in the App Store. The game is pretty fun (it could use a bit more variety) and everything looks clean and polished, but I just can't help but to expect this all to be part of a big Orbitz ad campaign. Let me know if you get the same feeling.

    Delivering a superb slopes experience, Metro Ski Challenge is torn apart by a bizarre rule-set that restricts races to set dates.

    I feel that this game could have been more than it offers and is a promising title for the future.
