Story

The game starts at Northstar in Tahoe, where the main character "Player 1" is riding up the mountain in a pink bunny suit with friends Wienerboy, Sebastian, J Dawg and Hunter. Player 1 rides a snowboard down the mountain and throws himself off a cliff. Once there, Player 1 meets Dandelion, a snow goddess with a passion for scrapbooking. From here you can choose the gender and appearance of player 1. As the story progresses, you'll learn that Player 1 and his team are saving up for a vacation at a ski resort in Chile. After completing several training challenges, Player 1 and his crew participate in an Easter Egg Roll to earn more money for their vacation fund. After saving Wienerboy from a trio of mysterious thugs, the player follows them to see what they are up to. During the chase, J Dawg confronts Player 1 and accuses him of stealing the vacation money from Hunter's locker. The rest of the crew heads to Chile while Player 1 tries to earn money to replace the stolen funds. As the story shifts to Snowbird, Player 1 takes several jobs for a marketing company. These jobs require the player to perform several dangerous stunts. After the marketing company decides to relocate, Player 1 meets with his friend Roman, who suggests he apply for a job with the ski patrol. After earning some extra money, Roman offers Player 1 a new job: He is to photograph celebrity Berlin Sheridan on her snowboarding trip. Player 1 manages to evade Sheridan's bodyguards and earns enough money to replace the stolen vacation cash. The story cuts to a news report about a comet on a collision course with Earth. Another reporter cuts in to show Player 1's photos of Berlin Sheridan in embarrassing positions during their trip. Player 1 makes it to Valle Nevado and sets out to find out what happened to his friends. He finds out that they were chosen for a sponsorship by a company called Colonotronic Arts Inc. Player 1 first meets Wienerboy again and learns that he was rejected by C.A.I.. Next, he meets Sebastian, who has been sent by H.R. to help Player 1 with his "reorientation." Player 1 destroys Sebastian's laptop (which has a red eye, similar to HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey). This breaks C.A.I.'s hold on him. Sebastian directs Player 1 to the Laax Resort, where Hunter has been sent to recruit more subordinates for Colonotronic Arts. The cutscenes reveal that a villain named Baron von Havoc is behind this, who wants to develop a game called Emag Live. Once in Laax, player 1 confronts Hunter and defeats her in two snowboard challenges. The crew discovers that J Dawg has become part of a boy band whose music contains subliminal messages. Player 1 manages to stop J Dawg's concert before he blurts out his message to the world. After J Dawg is rescued, the team meets Dandelion again. She informs them that she was the one who stole their vacation funds and framed Player 1 for it so that the crew would be separated and not fall under Baron Von Havoc's mind control. The crew makes their way to Baron von Havoc's zeppelin and stops his plan. At the end, there is a musical number featuring the main characters of the story. At the end of the song, the comet hits the earth, destroying everything and ending the game.
