I like the pack. My only criticism would be the lack of content for an expansion pack. I think it has more content than a game pack but not much.
This is the exact same criticism that has been posted for EVERY. SINGLE. EXPANSION PACK except MAYBE for Seasons.
It's just, does it really... expand? For whatever other flaws they may have, Get to Work, Get Together, Cats and Dogs and Get Famous, apart from Seasons, at least added things that weren't restricted to a single world while still, most of those, giving us a world (and two of the biggest ones: Brindleton Bay and Windenburg).
I was amongst those who said the same about Eco, but my issue with Eco was never the lack of content. It was merely that they would choose that specific theme to expand so much upon when I felt there were more interesting things to devote the energy to. I wish they'd given us less eco in the form of either a GP or a SP. But it doesn't FEEL like a GP. I think Snowy does.
I think extreme sports is a great theme for an expansion, but this one doesn't really go there all the way.
Maybe Jungle Adventure isn't a fair comparison because while the jungle excursion offers more than the mountain one at a GP price, this one also includes skiing and snowboarding, which isn't nothing (whether they interest me or not is beside the point). I suppose it does fall sort of into the same content level as City Living (one of my favorite packs, but because I really wanted that particular setting), so maybe you're right about this pack being just big enough to be called an expansion. Maybe the lines are too blurred.
