Powder Day game modes
Powder Day has three ways to ride: Free for open-ended riding across three worlds, Trick for scored park runs, and Race for timed courses against rival riders. All three are free in your browser.
Free: three worlds to just ride
Free mode has no timer and no finish line. Pick a world on the start screen and keep riding. Open the trail map at any time to switch worlds mid-ride or keep going where you are. Each world has three challenges to tick off.
| Open Mountain | Deep powder, cliff drops, an ice cave and kickers. Challenges: collect 15 snowflakes, hang 2.5 seconds of air, find the ice cave. |
| Street | A snowy town at night with alleys, wall drops and parked cars to gap. Challenges: grind 6 rails, clear 3 stairs or drops, jump 2 parked cars. |
| Resort Day | Groomers, cliff bands, a slalom line and other riders on the hill. Challenges: pass 10 slalom gates, 5 close calls past skiers, collect 15 snowflakes. |
Trick: Slopestyle, Big Air and the Superpipe
Trick mode scores style. Spins, flips, grabs and rail slides earn points, clean landings add bonuses, and linking tricks builds a combo multiplier. Each venue has bronze, silver and gold score targets. See the tricks guide for how scoring works.
- Slopestyle: a run of jumps, rails and hips.
- Big Air: two huge jumps with stadium drop-ins and a judges' score after each landing.
- Superpipe: a 2.2 km halfpipe with 12 m walls. Pump each wall and pop at the lip.
Race: three courses against rivals
Race mode lines you up on a start grid for a countdown, then it is first to the finish. You race 3 rivals on Easy, 4 on Medium and 5 on Hard. Split times show how you compare at each checkpoint, tucking in behind a rider gives you a slipstream, and your best run is saved as a ghost you can race next time (turn it off on the trail map).
- Canyon: banked turns, tunnels and split lines.
- Forest Line: berms, a step-down, split lanes and whoops.
- Glacier Run: giant sweepers, an ice gully, a tabletop and a stadium finish.
