Gate Navigation
Gates must be passed in order. Missing a gate costs a significant time penalty. When approaching a gate, align your path early rather than making a sharp turn at the last moment.
Trick Timing
Hit jumps at their center for maximum air time, which allows more complex tricks. Landing cleanly earns the full style multiplier. Crashing on landing loses more time than skipping the trick entirely.
Ski Selection
Speed skiers excel on gentle slopes but struggle with tight turns. Trick skiers handle jumps well but are slower on straights. Match your skier to the slope profile.
