Winter Games

Free Sledding, Skiing and Snow Games

Every game in our Winter Games collection is built around the same simple idea: you race downhill, the game speeds up, and you dodge whatever the mountain throws at you. Trees, rocks, snowmen and giant snowballs are everywhere. Most games need only two or three keys, so you can start a run in seconds and get better every time you play.

What makes each one different is how you ride. Some put you on a sled and let you spend gifts on new ones. Others hand you skis or a snowboard, add an avalanche behind you, or let you race a friend on the same screen.

Winter Games You Can Play Here

Sledding Games

Sledding games are the heart of this collection. You sit on a sled that moves by itself, steer left and right, and jump over low obstacles. Gift boxes on the snow let you buy new sleds.

• Snow Rider 3D is where most people start. It's quick to learn, and the 11 sleds give you something to work toward.
• Snow Road has a block-built look, counts your distance in meters, and has an online leaderboard with daily, weekly and all-time tabs.
• Snow Rush 3D adds a split-screen mode where two players share one keyboard and the first to crash loses.
• Slope Rider goes further, with fences you can smash, snowmen you can land on, daily missions and a paid continue after a crash.

Skiing and Snowboard Games

If you'd rather ride skis or a board, try Ski Frenzy. It's a side-view game where an avalanche chases you down the mountain. You tap to jump, hold to backflip, and ride penguins, yetis and eagles for extra points. Ranks, missions and five extra maps give it the longest list of things to unlock in this collection.

How to Play Winter Games

Most games here share the same controls, so once you learn one, the rest feel familiar.

Ski Frenzy is the exception: it uses one button. Click, tap or press Space to jump, and hold it to backflip. Each game page explains its own controls in full.

Tips for Every Snow Game

• Look ahead, not at your sled. You'll spot gaps between trees much sooner.
• Use short taps to steer. Holding a key swings you too far.
• Jump low things, steer around tall ones. Rocks and stumps can be jumped. Trees and snowmen usually can't.
• Don't chase every gift. One gift is never worth a crash.
• Turn your phone sideways. Every game here plays better on a wide screen.
