Mountains
In Cool Boarders 3 there are 5 different mountains which each contain 6 different courses (or events).
- Powder Hill
- Devil's Butt
- Mt. Koji
- Alps
- Everest
- Avalanche
The courses for each mountain (except Avalanche) are:
- Downhill: A race against three CPU players down a mountain course. Courses usually involve many jumps and grinds, along with various natural obstacles such as trees, rocks and ice.
- Boarder X: Involves navigating through a course of gates competing against three other CPU players to post the best overall time. If the player misses passing through a gate, extra time is added to their final course time as a penalty.
- Slalom: Similar to Boarder X, except that the player competes against only one other CPU player and each player has their own coloured gates to pass through.
- Slope Style: A solo run through a course with various sized jumps and grinds with the intention to score as high a trick score as possible.
- Half Pipe: Involves three separate runs down the iconic snowboarding half pipe track where the player must score as high a point total as possible. The two best runs are summed to the final overall score.
- Big Air: A short track that involves one or two large jumps where the player must pull off high point total tricks. Similar to Half Pipe where the best two runs add up to the player's final score.
For the Avalanche mountain, the player is tasked with heading down a course as fast as possible in order to avoid being taken out by the avalanche coming down behind them. The avalanche provides obstacles in the form of balls of snow that can knock the player's boarder down. As the avalanche gets closer to the player, the snow balls become increasingly larger in size and in number until the player is passed over by the avalanche.

Famous quotes containing the word mountains:
“Without mountains one wouldnt see the plains.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Have We not made the earth as a cradle and the mountains as pegs? And We created you in pairs, and We appointed your sleep for a rest; and We appointed night for a garment, and We appointed day for a livelihood. And We have built above you seven strong ones, and We appointed a blazing lamp and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, and gardens luxuriant.”
—QurAn. The Tiding, 78:6-16, trans. by Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
“From the mountains to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam,
God bless America,
My home sweet home!”
—Irving Berlin (18881989)
