Enjoy.

lol, i would have but my junky browser was being bad . ah, i just love the original snowboard kids games (i still hum the tunes ) i love the more classical take, on this one (very well done by the way) but just from what the mood of this should be, it seems very plain (no crazy bits) which seems odd, from the source material (could just be me), in short, it could use more variance (for lack of a better word) wish i could be more technical, but i'm me

This basically sounds like reverbed midi in a lot of parts;

You really need to humanize the parts. You do vary up some velocities which is good, but every single note is perfectly on beat, making it sound unnatural. This is something I have learned to hear very well in the past few weeks while working on my own mixes, and thus it is super apparent to me now.

some samples work ok, like the snare is decent, and with some humanization the strings could work good, but the brass sound is really bad, and overall things are drowned in reverb. The piano also isn't good enough. It sounds really mushy, like a bad cross between a grand and electric piano.

Also something you want to keep in mind with orchestral pieces is that dynamics are crucial; crescendos and decrescendos make or break them; and though you have a few crescendos in the macro view of the piece, you need to make them more apparent in the micro. Phrases should ebb and flow, an they are too static right now.
