Project Powder focuses on competitive snowboard racing. Players choose one of several premade characters and compete in three modes - Race (a downhill race), Battle (the game's version of PvP), and Coin (in which players battle to collect in-game coins during a downhill race). Light on RPG elements, the game rewards skill. One nifty feature is the ability to have password-protected private races. Project Powder is free to play with an optional item shop.
