Computer Entertainer gave the game a score of 3 out of 4, stating: "There’s nothing serious here, from the funny-looking skier to the messages which your ski instructor indicates to you. Including the construction set gives the game the extra added fun that makes the difference"[6]

The game sold 1,000 copies.[1] and the company made about US$1,500 from the game.[7]
