The first third-party game to support Nintendo's Wii Balance Board will be We Ski. The game is coming from Namco Bandai. We Fit will also support your Miis, so you can virtually ski the slopes. A character can also be created and customized with accessories in We Ski.

About We Ski:
"In We Ski, up to four skiers can test their skills on more than a dozen runs from the bunny slopes to the most challenging Black Diamonds. Not only can players carve through the trails using the motion-based controls but they can also mix in the Wii Balance Board for a whole new level of realism. Players can ski using their own Mii™ or create a new character with a host of customizable options including changeable face and body types. Boosting the customization feature, additional skis, poles, goggles, and costumes can be unlocked."

The game supports up to four players, but you'll probably have to leave three players with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. We Ski is scheduled for a Spring 2008 release.
