The video game developers at EA Sports are getting closer to the launch date for their snowboarding simulator SSX and they seem to be accelerating the pace for their trailer launches, putting out one which details the environment and the challenges of Antarctica and the exploits or a real-world practitioner of the art.

SSX will allow players to create impressive tricks and go down huge mountains at huge speeds with a cast of characters that can be customized using a number of unique pieces of equipment.

This week fans of the SSX franchise can get a demo of the upcoming game, which will allow them to decide whether they want to buy it or not.

The full game is set to launch on the PlayStation 3 from Sony and the Xbox 360 from Microsoft on February 28 in the United States and on March 2 in Europe.

The trailer below shows off some game tricks performed by Travis Rice, who is a real-world snowboarder.
