Time Trials

Like last year, the ski slope allows players to perform time trials on their down slope slaloms, and badges are awarded for making varying goals. Each time badge must be achieved in a separate run down the course; runs completed in a shorter time will not earn the longer time badges.

Ski down the slopes in the Ski Chalet in between 35 and 44.99 seconds.

Qualified

Good run, but try harder, better times to be had!

Ski down the slopes in the Ski Chalet in between 25 and 34.99 seconds.

Notes

(get rid of these as they are worked into the article!)

• New winding slope around the chantel. New course is similar to a Bobsleigh run and has several NPCs on it.
  • Polar Shift, Tundra, Snow Maiden, Abominable Snowman
• Snowflake badge should exist (Dark Watcher made a joke about it in chat) but no one has been able to earn it in testing.
