Skiing 1999 Edition
GameTips
——–
Get brownie points:
——————-
You dont get brownie points for nailing the midpoint between
two gates. As in automobile racing, you want to straighten the
course as much as possible, and cutting close to gates is one
way to do it.
Course map:
———–
Use the course map in the lower left of the screen in conjunction
with the main view. It helps you learn how to set up early for
upcoming turns, and the easier runs (Aspen comes to my snow-swept
mind) can be negotiated almost exclusively via the course map.
Habit of preparing:
——————-
Make a habit of preparing not just for the next gate but for the
next two gates ahead.
Top ten finish:
—————
If what you crave is a top ten finish, try playing at the hard
levels in which gates are crammed closer together and the winning
times are faster; then come back to easy mode. It will suddenly
seem all so simple-trust me on this.
Good tuck:
———-
Theres nothing better than a good tuck for a fast Downhill time.
Tucking is something you should do from beginning to end in any
Downhill event; stand only in the most extreme turns.
