The Snowboard Arena is a unique building from the Cities: Skylines Snowfall DLC.
To unlock it, you have to:
- Play on a winter map
- Spend ₡30,000 per week for education expenses, for three total weeks
- Reach the Worthy Village milestone (240 – 950 population, depending on the map)
Until you reach ₡30,000, hovering over the Snowboard Arena’s silhouette in the menu will show your current education spending.
Once you do reach the ₡30,000 of expenses, the progress bar will change into a 3-week counter.
When the three weeks are over you’ll be able to build the Snowboard Arena from the Winter tab of the Unique Buildings menu for ₡400,000.
Note: The Snowboard Arena has the same unlock requirements as the Sports Arena, a Landmark unique building from the base game. So unlocking the Snowboard Arena will give you access to that as well.
All Winter Maps
The following are the official winter maps, all of which come from the Snowfall DLC.
- Frosty Rivers
- Icy Islands
- Winter Hills
- Frozenshire
- Snowy Coast
You can also get user-made winter maps from the Steam Workshop.
How To Increase Education Spending Fast
In the Upkeep Cost column of the table below, you can see how much each education facility will add to your weekly spending.
Building | Unlocked at | Cost (₡) | Upkeep Cost (₡/week) | DLC |
---|---|---|---|---|
Elementary School/European Elementary School | Little Hamlet | 10,000 | 160 | none |
High School/European High School | Tiny Town | 24,000 | 560 | none |
University/ European University | Big Town | 75,000 | 1,920 | none |
High-Capacity Elementary School | Worthy Village | 26,000 | 416 | Plazas & Promenades |
High-Capacity High School | Boom Town | 58,000 | 928 | Plazas & Promenades |
Community School | Little Hamlet | 12,000 | 240 | Green Cities |
Institute of Creative Arts | Tiny Town | 30,000 | 720 | Green Cities |
Modern Technology Institute | Big Town | 90,000 | 2,400 | Green Cities |
Faculty | Big Town | 24,000 | 640 | High-Tech Buildings |
As you can see, the tertiary buildings will be vital to spending a large amount for education.
You can expect to be somewhat late into the game, with a large population, by the time you need ₡30,000.
Of course, if you have plenty of cash to spare and really just want the Snowboarding Resort, you can just go ahead and build the educational facilities you don’t need.
You could then switch your extra school buildings off (so you don’t keep spending needlessly on upkeep) after you’ve unlocked the Snowboard Arena.
