Cool Boarders is a snowboarding video game developed by UEP Systems for the PlayStation. It was released in Japan by UEP Systems in August 1996 and internationally by Sony Computer Entertainment in January 1997.
The game consists of three main courses (plus two additional unlockables) in which the player attempts to gain the fastest time, most points from performing tricks, and also total points, a combination of the two previous disciplines. This early game, while simple, led the way for the development of much more popular, extreme sport games.
The game was released for the PlayStation Network as a PS one Classic in North America on December 4, 2006, in Europe on November 8, 2007, and in Japan on October 26, 2011. It was released for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on March 19, 2024. Hamster Corporation re-released the game as part of their Console Archives for the Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 in February 2026. Several sequels were also released.
