Wendigo is my favorite, the lift is a bit tall but I realize it is hard to keep speed with a VV coaster. The colors are really what sold me, the coaster just looks amazing, the shaping is smooth and the layout is cool, I love the drop going through the immelmann and the sweeping turn (is there a name for that?) after the drop is really cool. Overall a very well themed coaster and well built too.

COLD is a close second, I like the use of the base to make the coaster go "underground", it adds uniqueness to the coaster and makes it look cooler. The chain drive for the lift is a bit choppy but that isnt that big of an issue. Overall a solid coaster with unique theming and elements.

Boreas is well themed and well built, the shaping is great and it looks smooth but I feel that it lacks the uniqueness of COLD and the beauty of Wendigo. Still overall a great coaster and my third choice.

Freezing point is well themed, I love the trees, but the lack of consistent color use in the supports and the shakiness of the ride lessens the quality. A side view of the drop also reveals some weird shaping in the transition to the pullout where the track bulges out.

Reindeer run, first thing I have to say, the cars are amazing and they made me laugh, great job on those. The theming is decent but the coaster itself has some weird spots, the exit of the roll near the end is probably not very comfortable to ride also the valley between the drop and the first element is a bit small. Overall a decent ride that just lacks the beauty and fluidity of some of the other entries.

Sleet is a well themed christmas coaster but it has some shaping issues, mainly the very small valley before the loop. A good coaster but it lacks smooth shaping.
