Project Powder Trailer
What is Project Powder?
Project Powder is a free (cash shop-supported) snowboard racing game. And it just entered open beta.
Set in a future where global warming has destroyed the world's ice caps and winter sports are a thing of the past, the titular Project Powder was initiated to find new ice-rich planets ideal for snowboarding. The project was a success, and now snowboarders from around the galaxy head to planet Delphinus to take advantage of its low gravity atmosphere and shred a planet full of pristine powder.
How do I play it?
Very easily.
Go to playprojectpowder.com, register an account, and download the client. That's it.
Why should I play it?
Because it's SSX online for free!
Other features include:
- A Robust Trick Tree - Take on difficult license tests and unlock new skills to more quickly fill your boost meter and blast past the competition.
- 3 Game Modes - Race to the finish in Race Mode, use your wits to collect the most coins in Coin Mode, or wield over-the-top weaponry in Battle Mode.
- In-Game Events - Race against the GMs and compete for the top spot in the online leaderboard.
- Crew Support - Essentially guilds; form crews with in-game message boards and earn crew points.
- Socketed Items - As any Diablo/World of Warcraft addict knows, putting colored gems in matching holes is strangely satisfying and incredibly addictive.
- Snowball fights

Forget it...
my ingame name is themarshall
Luck to get three of the same type of gem.
Money to buy the magic box that will turn it into a stat item.
It's real easy to get in game cash to buy new gear, though. Just do a coin race.
I'll throw down as nocren too.
Coin mode is definitely my favorite; it reminds me of the find-a-coin mode in 1080: Avalanche. Battle mode seems like it would be a lot of fun, but is really an unbalanced nightmare. Apparently there is such a thing as gameplay that is too chaotic. Who knew?
