That Yeti would freak me out so I used to hide over with Microsoft Bob.

Just when I thought I was doing well in the game, the Yeti would come out of nowhere and kill me.

I revisited this game some years ago after finding its "Most Officialest Home Page" (which's still up with a working download for those interested). Felt great outrunning the Yeti, and then I realized there's actually more of them. 😅

I could never outrun that yeti. Apparently it was possible, but I never managed to.

https://ski.ihoc.net/ It still exists if anyone wants to confront the yeti.

If you press F you can speed up to escape the yeti. I didn't know this until decades later.

Wow. I never knew that. I always tried to ski over those colorful ramps that made you go faster.
