Ok thx man  B)

I would look into getting experience with game development first. Maybe start with making mods for other games, then maps, then maybe a simple game...like an FPS...not shitting those are really simple to make, minimal character modeling. Before setting up a large goal like this, get some good experience so when you finally decide to make something, you will  know what will be required, and how capable you are of doing it, and most importantly, how long it will take you.

Do you guy think it would be possible to make a game the simulates Ski resort creation/maintenance of the slopes/runs. I have played Ski Region but it just does not simulate the physics of the snow. I am A noob so I am just looking for a good place to start. A example of what I want to do is simulate this. B)

OH YA BTW PLZ DONT HATE ON ME IM KINDA NEW WITH THIS GAME CREATION STUFF!!

 

EDIT: For now I just care about the building I dont care about the ski/snowboarding yet..

Short answer, no. Long answer yes, but it is a bit advanced and likely a lot more effort than a single person of little to no experience can handle. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

Uhh not for you it isn't (as a beginner). Simulating physics like that would require an extreme level of skill in both coding and mathematics and would still need a lot of research and probably atleast a few people.

Smells like some more advanced features such as dynamic model deformation and proper physics.

Get into proper programming/games development first, then specialize your projects towards your dream :)

But it's never bad to keep researching the area. Look up different engines, how you could execute the idea, stack a metric butt ton of notes,

and spend the next decade developing a game that'll get pushed down the list by old re-releases on steam within 24 hours :D
