There are eight characters to choose from (one initially locked) and several courses. These largely serve to qualify for the tournaments. The main game mode is the Extreme Winners Cup that features cross races, slalom, one-on-one and time attack. A first for the series, it mixed skiing with snowboarding previously featured in the arcade game Alpine Surfer. The features and game modes are most likely not identical to the Alpine Racer 3 arcade game. This is the first game in the series made for a console system.

It is based on the arcade Alpine Racer series played on a cabinet where the player stands on a set of ski-like foot stands that are moved with horizontal motions to steer and taking corners while holding onto two bars for stability. Alpine Racer 3 is a downhill ski racing game.
