Answers about joining, sessions, Powder Coins, games, rewards and more.
Joining
How do I join?
Select Join free in the header, enter your name (a display name is optional), confirm that Powder Coins are virtual and choose Hit the slopes. 25,500 Powder Coins are added straight away.
What details do you need?
Just a name. We never ask for a password, email address, card, bank details or payment information.
Is it really free?
Yes. Joining and playing are completely free, and nothing on the site is for sale.
Logging in & sessions
How do I log back in?
Choose Log in and select your profile from those saved in this browser, or type the name you joined with.
Why can't I see my profile on another device?
Profiles are stored in each browser rather than on a server, so every browser and device keeps its own. Progress doesn't sync between them.
What happens when I log out?
Your session ends on this browser, but your profile stays saved for next time. To delete it permanently, clear this site's data in your browser settings.
I cleared my browser and lost my coins. Can you restore them?
Sorry, no. Profiles never reach our servers, so there's nothing for us to restore. You can create a new free profile at any time.
Powder Coins
What are Powder Coins?
Powder Coins (PC) are the virtual currency used in every Skull & Ski game. They're free and exist purely for entertainment.
Are Powder Coins worth anything?
No. They have no monetary value and can't be exchanged for cash, vouchers, goods or any real-world prize.
Can I buy, deposit or withdraw coins?
No. Skull & Ski has no purchases, deposits or withdrawals of any kind.
I'm out of coins. What now?
Claim fresh tracks on the Rewards page, dig up the daily summit stash, claim any milestones you've reached, or earn badges for bonus coins.
Playing games
Which games can I play?
All 39 Skull & Ski originals across six runs: Main Bowl, Old Town Run, Thunder Ridge, Backcountry, Cherry Pass and the Bunny Slope with Keno, Plinko and Diamond Scratch.
How do I find a game?
Tap a run marker on the home-page trail map, browse the lift board, or open the Games page to filter by run, search, sort A–Z and switch between cards and list view.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Every game plays in your web browser on phones, tablets and computers.
A game won't load. What should I try?
Use the reload button above the game, check your connection, or open it in a new tab. Updating your browser or relaxing strict content blockers for our site can also help.
How does a game use my coins?
Games use the Powder Coin balance in the header, and it updates as you play. You need to be logged in to play.
Rewards
How do fresh tracks work?
Claim them once per calendar day. Day one is 700 PC and every day in a row adds 260 PC, up to 2,260 PC on day seven. Miss a day and the streak starts over.
How do levels work?
You earn XP by starting games (+22), playing (+6 a minute), fresh tracks (+30) and the summit stash (+15). Each level-up pays 325 PC × your new level.
What are badges?
Nine achievements, such as playing 10 different games, trying every game or reaching level 5. Each badge pays 370 PC.
Can rewards be exchanged?
No. All rewards are virtual with no real-world value.
Jackpot
What is the Summit Pot?
A just-for-fun meter that climbs from 2,300,000 PC to 9,200,000 PC over the week and resets every Monday at 00:00 UTC. It's virtual with no monetary value.
How does the summit stash work?
Registered players can dig up one free stash a day. It always holds Powder Coins, with a 0.3% chance of the 25,500 PC jackpot. Full chances are listed on the Jackpot page.
What are milestones?
Five targets for playing games 1, 5, 15, 30 and 50 times — from First Chair to Peak Fifty. Claim them on the Jackpot page once reached.
Game Providers
What is the Game Providers page?
A guide to well-known developers and publishers with games on Google Play.
Can I play their games here?
No. Their games aren't on Skull & Ski — only our own games are.
Are you partners with them?
No. We're not affiliated with, endorsed by or partnered with any company listed.
Responsible play
How do I set a break reminder?
Go to the Responsible Play page and choose an interval. A reminder pops up after that much play in a session.
Is this gambling?
No. There are no deposits, no withdrawals and no cash prizes, and Powder Coins have no monetary value. The games are entertainment only.
