Santa Tracker Snow Rider vs Snow Rider 3D

This is an independent website entry point, separate from TheSantaTracker’s Snow Rider version. This page does not provide TheSantaTracker accounts, leaderboards or badges.

Snow Rider 3D is the sledding game on this page. Google’s Santa Tracker is a separate service for seasonal updates. Slope Rider and Slope Rider 3D are other games with their own menus and progress.

When Does It Start?

The game is available throughout the year while its provider is online. Live Santa tracking is seasonal. Choose Load tracker to check the service’s schedule and status; before takeoff, it shows waiting rather than a live location. After the tracking window, it shows ended.

For help with the original Slope Rider, read Slope Rider access troubleshooting. For Snow Rider 3D loading issues, use Help below this page’s player.

FAQ

Do I need to load the tracker to play?

No. Choose Play for the game. Load tracker checks Google’s separate seasonal service; either can be used on its own.

What are the Snow Rider 3D controls?

Use the left and right arrow keys to steer and the up arrow to jump, as shown in the game’s tutorial. Click inside the game for keyboard focus.

Why is no Santa location shown?

Choose Load tracker to check the service. Waiting means the journey has not started; ended means its tracking window is over. If an update is unavailable, try Refresh or open Google’s official tracker.

Where do I find the sled choices?

Open the cart icon in the game menu and check the choices and requirements displayed there. Santa tracking works separately from game progress.
