SSX On Tour is packed with all-new highly detailed tracks, new stylish player customization options, new monster tricks, and multiplayer options. In SSX On Tour, players will reach breakneck speeds, catch huge air, and become an icon as they storm down the mountain as either a snowboarder or a skier. Players will pull off jaw-dropping monster tricks to out-style your competitors while hurtling down the slopes at supersonic speeds. Build a career as you progress from a slope-side wannabe to a black-diamond-dominating rock star. Compete for medals or just tear up the massive new mountain, but make sure you look good doing it because your reputation is always on the line. You create the hype—the hype creates a legend in SSX On Tour.
