Can we use snowboards on the half pipe? Pwease?? 
mmm, half pipe.....i like the sound of that.
/signed.
I like those ice patches in Frosty. Would be fun if we could do that in the chalet as well. /Signed.
I'd also like a new sprint temp power that works a bit like noob sli... uh... Prestige Power Slide, Ski's! Straps a pair of ski's on your feet and you slide around.
Caveat: It's only enabled in the ski chalet area.

I have a suggestion for the winter slopes themselves: nuke them from orbit!

No idea what it'd do but it completes your list.

I love Mother's ideas! /signed (Saying that makes me feel a bit like 'Psycho'... :S )
I really like the half-pipe / ice rink. In the Victorian era, Ice Rinks were very festive/social, and I think it would draw a crowd - if they had an 'ice skate' emote / walking animation that would be even better! The half-pipe would just be fun - we all like FrostFire's base
What about a 'snowball' fight? Build a little 'battlefield' in Pocket D - and you can organise team snowball fights using the snowball attack and points system?

Snowball Arena match! All damaging powers are suppressed, and everyone gets the snowball temp power to use instead. Points are gained for hitting the opposing side!
Love that idea.
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*
Oh I'm loving these ideas.
One other thing I did think of as an addition to the half pipe comes from the frostie mission too. In the room where the frostie half pipe is, is a gap and then a ledge just beyond it. A well timed jump at the end of it means that you can get on to that ledge fairly easily. What about length and height ledges to aim for with a badge for successfully reaching each one without the use of a travel power or external buff? Maybe this would be better as an out an out "Ski Jump" feature rather than something added to the half pipe?

As someone who dabbles in a bit of piste action in RL, (off to the Alps tomorrow!! 
) I'd love to see all of the above suggestions.

That is one hell of a /signed from me
how about snow in the city and isle zones??
probally too much fuss to put lumps of snow, but they could make it snow couldn't they???
kinda like croatoa is in the FT missions.
oh and Ps: /signed all the stuff bout emotes, christmas trees, fireworks auroras etc. seems awesome =D
Well, as they've shown with Recluse's Victory, they can have an in-game texture change to an entire zone, so they could add snow to normal city zones - the only drawback would be if it was worth their time and effort to do it

Adding some racing track suggestions here:
IDEA 1:
Duel racetrack, so players can race each other. Racers are put in boxes and gates open at the same time so they both set off at the same time.
You can then have the two tracks doing either 1:same tracks side by side, or 2:Completely different tracks which twist and intertwine, but are ultimately the same length and difficulty. The winner is calculated by the computer.
Perhaps provide computer opponents, maybe known heroes/villains?
IDEA 2:
Loop-the-loops and hugely banked bends.
IDEA 3:
A huge free-for-all race where players register at a NPC for the "next race" and then get a countdown... then a barrier raises or disappears or a door opens and out they all pour. The winner is calculated by the computer.

After doing a couple of frostie mishes this morning, how about having a large, flat, frozen lake for skating around on and an ice "half pipe" on the Pocket D Ski Slopes No rewards, or incentive other than it being a bit of fun.
