A virtual reality experience showcased at Science North in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Participants assume the role of a skier or snowboarder making their way down the side of a mountain and can turn and ‘see’ one another through their journey.

Participants stand at one of two parallel stations at the exhibit and pull down a Gear VR housed in a custom apparatus that allows them to adjust for their height and view the experience in 360-degrees. Runtime is approximately 3 minutes.
