Backcountry Ski Game for iPad and iPhone: Not Really

This game fails from the start. The main character is an androgonous weird piece in jeans and a sweater. I mean, they bill this as a backcountry game, but the "thing" on the screen is in cotton, no eye wear, no backpack, and skinny skis.The graphics are lame, the functionality is lame. The style of skiing is beyond me.  There is really nothing to do but steer left and right and straight air into the sky. I will leave it at this. There is a free version for trial or a paid version for $1.99. Check out the free version if you want a laugh.
Here are a few more screen shots. Check out this style.

One more shot.
