A day on the mountain
Skiing turns a snowy mountain into a playground, and this puzzle gathers its essentials. You'll be finding the gear — the POLES, BOOTS, BINDINGS and GOGGLES — and the snow itself, from fresh POWDER to a steady SNOWFALL on the SLOPE.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the mountain, no two skiing word searches are the same. One round a backwards CHAIRLIFT hides in a corner; the next a diagonal AVALANCHE rumbles across the middle.
From green runs to the black
Skiing has runs and styles for everyone, and they're here. Ride up on the CHAIRLIFT or GONDOLA, then pick your line — a gentle PISTE, the bumpy MOGULS, a twisting SLALOM, a steep BLACK RUN or a fast DOWNHILL. Learn to CARVE on your EDGES, slow with the SNOWPLOUGH, GLIDE and SCHUSS down the hill — then warm up with some APRES at the RESORT.
It's a great fit for a PE or winter sports topic. Tracking down A-V-A-L-A-N-C-H-E turns spelling practice into a powder day.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
