A complete walkthrough for the SSX Tricky Elysium Alps race, detailing every shortcut, trick, and grind to achieve an awesome time. Learn how to beat the clock!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Immediately after starting, punch an opponent to gain full boost.
  2. 2
    Perform the first Uber Trick off the initial jump. This may require a few attempts.
  3. 3
    Grind the pipe located near the curve. Aim for the right side of the straightaway after the turn for an easier entry, but be ready to quickly adjust to avoid falling.
  4. 4
    Boost along the rail and perform an Uber Trick at the end.
  5. 5
    Continue down the course until you reach a split-level jump. Take the smaller jump, perform an Uber Trick, and continue performing Uber Tricks on subsequent jumps to fill your TRICKY meter.
  6. 6
    After a long straight section, the path will split into three. Go through the sign in the middle to access a pipe behind it.
  7. 7
    After exiting the pipe, take the turn and cut through the green flares on the left. This shortcut bypasses a jump later in the course and is marked by a high SSX sign.
  8. 8
    Approach the balcony-like structure. Go onto the top or the railing, jump to the next structure, and then to the blue roof. Aim to land on the downward slope.
  9. 9
    Upon landing, turn sharply left, staying close to the cliff wall. Grind the cable leading to the fence, then the fence itself, and transfer to the snowblower pipe. This will put you on a raised ledge parallel to the main path.
  10. 10
    Locate the giant yellow cushions on the left that conceal a hole in the fence. Crash through them and proceed through the powder towards the fence ahead.
  11. 11
    You will encounter another cable leading to a fence. Grind this as well.
  12. 12
    After sliding off the fence (around two seconds), boost down the remaining track. Jumping off the twisty fence early and reaching the bridge can save time compared to grinding the entire fence.
  13. 13
    Cross the bridge as smoothly as possible, jumping over it early if necessary. Be cautious of a polygon on the right side that can cause you to trip. Boost to the finish line for a good time.
Tips
  • Utilize the initial punch to gain full boost early.
  • Mastering Uber Tricks on jumps is crucial for filling the TRICKY meter.
  • The pipe grind near the start offers a good opportunity for boosting.
  • Shortcut 7, through the green flares, saves time by avoiding a jump.
  • The sequence of grinds (cable, fence, snowblower pipe) leads to a raised ledge that bypasses a section of the main path.
  • Crashing through the cushions in step 10 is a key part of a shortcut.
  • Exiting the fence grind early in step 12 and boosting to the bridge is faster than completing the grind.
  • Be aware of the tripping hazard on the bridge.
