It doesn’t include any gameplay perks, but it does come with a collection of gear and accessories for customizing your rider. Here’s what’s included.

  • Flight jackets and trousers because no one looks cooler than pilots on skis
  • Helmet with ski goggles for that extra bit of style
  • Retro racing outfit that will never go out of style
  • Beanie with glasses if you like it more on the cozy side
  • Knitted cap our grandmothers couldn’t be more proud of
  • A new paint job for your skis to round up your retro outfit
  • A beautiful backpack featuring the Lonely Mountains themselves
  • A medal for just being awesome and supporting the development
