I thinks it's a fun game. I would not recommend in a small collection. I've had very little problem with mine over last two years. Price is on the higher end, I paid $1500 Aud which is at the lower end for DMD's in Aust.
There is not much love for this game with pin heads but most non pin head guests coming over really enjoy it. If you like skiing, theme is great thus some of the games short comings can be over looked IMO
