Another Wii ski game involves a balance board that allows you to tilt and slam in different directions. If you want to use a Wii ski game, you must sync the Wii Balance Board with the Wii console. This can be done by pressing the “Sync” buttons in the battery cover or SD card slot. This process will save the settings even if you switch off the console. What does a Wii Fit balance board do?

Christianson, Kiel (2010-10-06). "Staying sharp in the offseason: "My Personal Golf Trainer" with David Leadbetter for the Wii". WorldGolf . Retrieved 2012-08-04.The svelte Wii Balance Board weighs in at about 8 pounds (roughly 3.5 kilograms) and can support up to 330 pounds (about 150 kilograms) for in-game functionality. (It can actually support quite a bit more, up to 620 pounds, but games like "Wii Fit" will not work if you weigh more than 330 pounds [source: Casamassina].) It runs on four AA batteries, which Nintendo says can provide up to 60 hours of play time depending on the settings used, and the board shuts off automatically to conserve power when not in use after a short period of time. It has built-in wireless capabilities and communicates with the Wii using the same Bluetooth technology found in the Wii Remote.
