I absolutely love the part where you slide down that slope, taking out a bunch of those beetle things...
And the rest is pretty nifty, too.
The beautiful snow level in Metroid Prime has inspired me and brought back many memories of snow levels in past games.
What are your favorite snow levels?
I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton but some of mine off the top of my head are: the running slope part in Strider and the snowy parts of Super Ghouls N Ghosts and Sonic 3.

Hehe... great topic!
I'll throw out the Battle of Hoth in Rogue Leader. I can never play that level too many times.
Look out, man, Wooly's gone ape-shit.

Mmm..Ice Cap zone from Sonic 3, definetly. The snow boarding intro was awesome, the music was memorable (One of my favorite video game tunes) and the layout was very nice. I also loved the little touches like the patches of snow getting kicked up when you spin dashed in them. Too good

Hrm.. very nice topic.
I am sure that a lot of great snow levels will get overlooked. I can't think of anything better than Sonic offhand, but I'll keep thinking.

Well, NightFire has a very nice looking Snow level in the beginning of the game. Snow covered mountains, snow falling slowly, done very nicely.
Burnout 2 has a very cool Mountain Snow Race.

Basically any. I have a soft spot for ice levels, dunno why. I always like them, whatever game they're in.
They also often have sweet music; Prime does, Donkey Kong Country did also...
Hmm. One favorite. Maybe the snow area in Secret of Mana? I was playing that in the winter with some friends, hot cocoa and a warm blanket. Good memories.

Do you prefer dogs or cats?
Definitely. Ice Cap in Sonic Adventure was fun, too. Well, everything but humping those icicles...Originally posted by Sl1p

Let's not forget about the ULTIMATE snow level, Christmas NiGHTS...
...okay, and the normal NiGHTS had a cool snow level anyway. Board the Snow Train!

Heh. I felt that way when playing Tales of Destiny.Hmm. One favorite. Maybe the snow area in Secret of Mana? I was playing that in the winter with some friends, hot cocoa and a warm blanket. Good memories.

Skeptical.
The Phendaren Plains (or whatever) in Metroid Prime are definitely at the top, and brought up the same sort of snow-related nostalgia...
I remember Donkey Kong Country having a pretty cool "ice caves" level, replete with sparkly crystal effects... Halo's ice levels were pretty slick too, amazing really. I think Metroid has it beat on an atmospheric level though (the music in this game really helps). -as a side note: Does anyone ever feel lonely playing Metroid games? Something about them always give me this odd, vacuous feeling.
Anyway. ActRaiser2 had a nice snow level, and Dead or Alive 3 has both an awesome snowy forest (destroying VF4's and TTT), as well as a stalactite filled ice cave. Hmm...most other's I can think of just have the "slippery" factor...nothing too exciting.
