Gameplay[edit]
There are six mountains in Shaun White Snowboarding, including Alaska, Park City, Europe, and Japan. Each mountain features up to three different sections: peak, back country, and park (or resort). There is also a 'Target Limited Edition' of the game that is exclusive to Target; this version gives the player access to Target Mountain, a mountain with Target branding all over it. It has been described in-game as extremely difficult to find, and contains additional jibs, character models, and a sponsored version of the standard game's best snowboard which can be unlocked before the player's final challenge against Shaun White. The last mountain, called B.C., is only available in the 'Mile-High Pack' paid downloadable content. It is set in British Columbia.
As players progress through the game, they will earn abilities that will help them. Some of the abilities consist of gaining high speeds or the ability to break through obstacles to progress further.

Eurogamer gave the Wii version 7/10, praising it as 'the best looking version', singling out the presentation, soundtrack, implementation of the Wii Balance Board controls and multiplayer, while criticizing the Wii Remote controls, half-pipe sections, difficulty level, and short duration of the single-player mode.[7]
