Visual
1. ~~Snowboard Bindings missing from Urban Outfits~~

Gameplay
1. Bouncing into the sky from halfpipe Japan snowparks. Similar to Rail bounce bug.
2. Hit Detection
  - ~~Should be able to "brush" by bushes and small branches - added to G-Force meter~~
  - Magnetic rocks - rock faces or jumps pull the player upwards or backwards
  - Rail Super Jump - Randomly but recreatable - players are shot up into the air at exponential rate while near or on grindable objects.
3. Mutails and Holycrails not registering on small jumps
Leaderboards
1. ~~Due to updated physics & fixes there are glitches scores for All Time records.~~
2. Wrong Way glitched records
Audio
1. When grouped then in PhotoMode others become muted to you, but party members can still hear you.
Other

6. Duplicate Time of Day menu between Photo and Replay mode

6. Have more than 1 "Active" dare - Currently you can only "Dare" one of your challenges to your friends. Why not all, or a few?

7. Usable Gadgets - Ability to put some of the current gadgets to practical use.
  - Hiking Poles equipped allow for faster hiking adventures or auto hike feature.
  - Ice Picks equip allow for near vertical wall climbs.

10. Avalanches - **Many may not know the death of Matilda Rapaport during the research of this project. We assume Ubisoft is paying their respects by keeping avalanches out of Steep. I respect this decision, but do also see the thrill it would give 'virtually' for players. R.I.P.
11. Speed Ski - Update wing control to R1/L1 instead of one joystick.
12. BASE - Ariel tricks and running start
13. Pump - Ability to pump while on ski or board to move forward with momentum, help with traversing and small inclines.

5. Free roam Korea
6. Licensed parks and resorts - A Massif full of world known parks and resorts with replica design. Example: Whistler, Mt. Baker, Breckenridge
Tricking
1. Add a dominant stance and implement switch riding. This will easily double variations of tricks.
2. Point system overhaul - Lot of complaints of repeat tricks and glitches for leaderboard competitions.
3. Buttering / Board control - give us more boardcontrol for both ski and snowboard.
4. Handplants and Wallride mechanisms
