Walkthrough
- 1From the start, jump the second red ramp to reach a ledge shortcut. From here, you can continue on the main shortcut path, take a narrow ramp to the right onto a forest path, or jump far right to bypass the first sharp turn.
- 2An alternate way to the forest path is to continue on the normal track until the third turn (a right turn), then ski up over the embankment. Navigate through trees to a jump over a river and a large billboard. A red snowflake collectible is located here in Showoff mode.
- 3After the forest path section, the track bisects. A rail in the middle goes over a hill.
- 4Past the next jump and to the left is a large Seeiah billboard. Going past it leads to a rail grind across a tree branch. Jump at the end of the grind to clear billboards below.
- 5A few jumps later, a blue SSX sign leads to a raised path over the regular track, descending into the mines. This is the earliest entrance to the mines, and all mine entrances exit past the suspended bridge.
- 6Around a few turns, another blue SSX sign grinds onto a rail. After a short rail launch, attempt to jump onto raised railroad tracks above the normal path. Grinding these tracks leads to a tunnel and the suspended bridge over waterfalls.
- 7Skipping shortcut #6 leads to more turns and a platformed tower. Taking the right path crashes through a board-covered pit and into the mines.
- 8After the bridge, cutting the first turn leads to rough terrain and the start of the ravine shortcut. This long shortcut involves multiple jumps over the main path and ends at two red sign shortcuts.
- 9During the ravine shortcut, cutting behind a crowd stand reveals a grindable branch across a hill leading to a red sign. Successfully grinding this leads to three successive jumps over high plateaus, landing you far ahead past narrow canyons.
- 10The second red sign shortcut is accessed by jumping a small ramp near the end of the ravine shortcut. This leads through a short tunnel with boards; jump at the end to return to the main track.
- 11Across the next section, embankments can be cut to save time. Experiment to find the most advantageous ones.
- 12The quickest way through the area with crossing, bisecting trails and rails is to grind the rails.
- 13Immediately past this section, cut to the far right to find a narrow canyon path that leads directly to the finish line.
After these shortcuts, it's a short ride to the finish line.
