Grand Mountain Adventure 2, the sequel to Toppluva’s acclaimed snowsports simulator, builds on its predecessor’s success. Our App Army, a group of passionate mobile gamers who enjoy extreme sports without the real-world risks, tested the game to share their insights.
Here’s what they had to say:

Initially, I found the controls tricky, often veering off course or crashing into obstacles. With practice, navigation improved, and the game became enjoyable. It offers engaging challenges, smooth skiing and snowboarding, and vibrant graphics. Watch out for other skiers—they’re everywhere. With more depth than typical downhill games, it keeps you entertained for hours.

Grand Mountain Adventure 2 delivers an open-world skiing and snowboarding experience that feels accessible even for beginners. The relaxed pace lets you enjoy the slopes at your own speed, capturing the thrill of pulling off stunts in vivid, neon-colored gear. The intuitive controls and immersive vibe make it a standout, letting you live out your winter sports fantasies with ease.
The game bursts with challenges and unlockable items, set in a stunning winter world with falling snow and dynamic day-to-night transitions. The controls feel natural, letting you execute impressive tricks quickly. The realistic movement adds depth, showcasing the developers’ passion. This title deserves a spot in your mobile gaming lineup.

Grand Mountain Adventure 2 leans toward arcade-style fun rather than a hardcore simulation. You guide your skier or snowboarder down diverse mountain paths from an overhead view. Completing challenges earns passes to unlock higher slopes via ski lifts. The visuals impress, and the responsive touch controls make speeding down slopes and landing jumps a breeze. The snow-slicing sound effects enhance the experience, though small text can be hard to read. Highly recommended.

As someone who’s skied a few times, I was impressed by the depth of Grand Mountain Adventure 2. This open-world mountain adventure offers skiing, snowboarding, and even paragliding, with plenty to explore for free. Completing events and challenges earns ski points to unlock new areas and gear. The map guides you to glowing points of interest, with red arrows helping navigation.
Unlocking ski lifts is key to reaching higher slopes and tougher challenges, culminating in a balloon ride to new mountains after purchasing the full game. Exploration is rewarding, with tools like a backpack for extra gear and a telescope for scenic views. The graphics shine, and the sound of skis on snow feels authentic. Gameplay, including varied perspectives like side or top-down views, immerses you fully. A must-try from the App Store, with tons of free content before deciding to buy.

The visuals are stunning, but casual gamers may struggle with the controls. A more detailed, interactive tutorial would help. For a simulation like this, attracting casual players is tough. Adding a simplified control option could broaden its appeal on mobile, where casual gamers dominate.

I dabbled in the first Grand Mountain Adventure but didn’t fully commit. This sequel has me hooked. As someone who hasn’t skied in years, it nails the Colorado resort vibe, complete with ski lifts, fellow skiers, and cozy buildings. You can explore freely, sticking to trails or venturing slightly off-path, but watch for rocks, trees, and other skiers. The detailed graphics, crisp sound effects, and smooth controls after a brief learning curve make it feel like a true ski getaway.

I’m not big on skiing, but this simulation impresses. The controls take time to master, especially for uphill movement, but they’re effective once learned. Early runs had me colliding with trees, fences, and skiers, but practice paid off. The scenic visuals and small details make it engaging. Try the demo—you’ll likely want the full version.
Mike Lisagor
Having missed the first Grand Mountain Adventure, I was blown away by the sequel’s graphics, with details like snow tracks standing out. Progressing through goals unlocks new areas, though navigation can be unclear without the map. Handy features, like speeding up chair lifts, add convenience. The controls are straightforward, with new moves introduced gradually. Collecting gear via the backpack adds depth. It’s challenging but addictive, reminiscent of Alto’s Odyssey in an open-world format. I’m hooked and eager to explore more.
