I had a copy of some snowboarding game someone gave me many years ago... 15+ years?

Anyway, i don't usually like sporting games but i did like this one....

Not sure what to say that can help distinguish it against other games?

One odd thing you could do, you could climb over towards the edge of the map and fall over the cliff (the higher the better) and it was pretty funny watching your guy fall all that way and then it would let you roam around on the flat terrain off map.... getting back on the map was usually quite difficult.

Perhaps people can suggest other things in similar/same games and i might remember if it is in this game or not?

Was it SSX? I know it was a console hit, but I think they ported it to PC.

LJChronx: Was it SSX? I know it was a console hit, but I think they ported it to PC.
I was going to say the big ones I remember (and there were several sequels, spinoffs and additions) were SSX and Coolboarders.
Thanks for that, as soon as i get time i will start looking up the games,

meanwhile No SSX and Coolboarders in GOG or even in the wishlist?
There was a game called 1080 Snowboarding, but I'm fairly certain it was N64 only..

SSX was the biggest series ans probably your best bet.
It's not this one, but maybe it will help you remember more stuff: Ski or Die

(Ooh, how much I hated the snowball fight...)

Which platform? Do you see it in this list?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowboarding_video_game

I have a retail version of some PC snowboarding game from early 2000s or so, I don't recall the name though... I think I've installed and played it only once.

EDIT: Ok it was this one, I recalled it was a Finnish game (by Housemarque):

At least according to that Wikipedia article they were console-only.

I've never heard of that one, but It looks very similar to "Skate or Die": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJLFDNG2uhs

Could it be 1080 Snowboarding on Nintendo 64?

EDIT: I see that someone already mentioned it.

Yeah, I played both. I never bothered to check but I always presumed that both were made by the same people and/or company.
I recently found the name of another snowboard game I used to play in my PS1, Extreme Snow Break. But I don't think this is the game you are looking for.
A remember a snowboard game featuring the name of some famous snowboard dude... his name was Shaun or something? Not sure ...

Yeah, I was going to say Supreme Snowboarding too - it's the only one I can think of that was on PC
Actually the only other one I can think of at all that hasn't been mentioned is 'Amped' off of original XBox
(other than it's 2 sequels, I guess http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/amped-snowboarding-series)

Shaun White Snowboarding. Never played it but I've stumbled upon it numerous times in magazines and stuff. It's a pretty big and comparably recent game, though.

Yeah, Shaun White, that was the name!
