Ski and Shoot lets gamers test their calmness and endurance in the winter sport commonly known as biathlon. Players can join real biathletes as they combine the skills of cross-country skiing and rifle shooting on 20 different courses spread throughout 15 real-world locations. The single-player campaign takes players through all the courses on a quest to reach the top of the sport, while multiplayer modes lets up to four gamers compete.

Ski and Shoot (aka RTL Biathlon 2009) is a simulation of the Biathlon sport. Like the real sport it is basically divided into two sections: skiing and shooting. During the skiing sections the player steers his athlete into the correct direction and watches his stamina. In the middle of the screen is a power bar which gets filled by holding the assigned button - if the bar is too low the athlete gets slow and if it is too high he gets tired. Practically this results in steady button pressing to keep it as high as possible. During the shooting sequences the player shoots on targets while the cursor is wobbling. He can also hold his breath for a short time to steady his aim.

In the career mode the player divides points into four categories, e.g. speed or stamina, which influence the athlethe's capabilities. After successful championships he can improve these stats further. New in this instalment are super-powers which can be chosen at some point. When activated these give a big boost on a stat for a short time, e.g. "mountain skiing" boosts power when skiing uphill. These are available once per race.
