A sequel to 1080° Snowboarding was confirmed to be in development by Left Field in 1999, but it was later confirmed that development had moved to the GameCube. Left Field left Nintendo shortly after in order to work on multi-format titles. Nintendo Software Technology took over development and released 1080° Avalanche in 2003.

By Dave Frear1080° Snowboarding will provide plenty of entertainment, particularly in two-player mode. The controls do a good job of making you feel like you are weaving, sliding and jumping your way down snowy courses, whilst sound effects, rumble and decent animation help enhance this experience. The main problem is the low number of tracks and competing against a single opponent makes playing the courses in Match Race similar to just tackling them in Time Trial. The tracks are very enjoyable to play, whether alone or with a friend, and the other game modes add some variety. This is still one of the best snowboarding games around, but if you're flying solo then you might want to consider something with a bit more meat on the bone.
