Tree slalom adds obstacles to the slalom run. In slalom, players must properly ski around flags in an attempt to complete the run with the shortest time possible. The player can also opt to partake in three modes: slalom, freestyle, and tree slalom. The object of the game is to ski down an endless slope and avoid the obstacles (trees, stumps, dogs, etc.). SkiFree is a casual single-player sports simulator wherein the player uses the keyboard or the mouse to control a skier across a white background representing snow on a mountainside. The colorful bars represent the ramps, and the top right box contains statistics about the elapsed time, the meters traveled, the player's current speed, and their "Style" score. As the player steers the skier around trees and rocks, the skier is about to be pursued by the Abominable Snow Monster. SkiFree remains popular among the gaming community and is often remembered for its Abominable Snowman, which pursues the player after they finish a full run.
