It looks like the Balance Board is for more than just virtual pilates. Namco Bandai has officially announced the new Balance Board compatible Wii title for North America: We Ski. As the name implies, owners will be racing and adventuring down snowy landscapes, entering races, exploring, and completing specific challenges.

To control your skier, players will hold the Wii Remote and Nunchuck at their sides and rotate them in order to turn. For the more willing (and skilled) players, the Wii Remote and Nunchuck can be used with the Balance Board to steer. Mii usage has also been implemented into the game, so if you’ve never gone skiing before, you can see how cool (or goofy) you look in colorful layers of clothes.

We Ski is expected to ship sometime this spring, although it is speculated to be released in May, along with Wii Fit.
