Skiing 1999 Edition GameTips -------- Get brownie points: ------------------- You don't 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: ---------- There's 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.
