If your Sim has developed a love of extreme sports as they explore Mt. Komorebi and all it has to offer inThe Sims 4: Snowy Escape, then they’ve come to exactly the right place. With slopes of varying difficulty offering your Sim the option to board as intensely as they’d like, Mt. Komorebi is a snowboarder’s dream.
Whether you’re just getting started over on the Bunny Slope or are ready to take the lift all the way to the top of the mountain to give the Ludicrous Slope a shot, get ready for some gnarly outdoor, winter sports action.
Snowboarding Skill Overview
Where To Buy A Snowboard
In order to build your Snowboarding skill in The Sims 4, you’ll need tobuy a snowboardbefore you can hit the slopes onMt. Komorebiyourselves.
Though your Sim canread Snowboarding skill booksto gain a base knowledge, the best way to pick up the skill is to hit the slopes yourself andspend time SnowboardingdownMt. Komorebi.
They’re available in theOutdoor Activitiessection of Build/Buy Mode for as low as 200 Simoleons.
Or, since the mountain is such a popular winter sports destination, you canbuy a Snowboard from a vending machinein Mt. Komorebi.
It’s locatedjust beneath the ski liftin the Yukimatsu neighborhood of Mt. Komorebi,the middleof three machines.

Which Intensity Should You Use?
Every time your Sim hits the slopes, unless you’re using complete free will, you’ll have the choice betweena few different types of runswhen they go Snowboarding.
Low-Intensityis the safest bet, with Sims doing their best to be careful. This is best used when you’renew to the skillor have begunattempting new slopes.
TheMedium-Intensityruns are a normal day of Snowboarding for Sims comfortable in the skill, while theHighIntensityoption leads to daring tricks and good skill growth (as well as thequickest depletion of the Energy and Hygiene needs).
Which Intensity you choose should be based onyour Sims' skill levels and needson any given day at the slopes.
Think of the High Intensity options for the Snowboarding skill like the base game Athletic skill - more intense workouts tire Sims out faster, make them hungry, and sink the Hygiene need quickly.
