GAMEPLAY
CHALLENGES
To get your career going, you’ll have to pass the following
Challenges. Don’t worry if you fail a Challenge the fi rst
time because you can repeat them ‘till you get it right.
On the road to snowboarding fame, your fi rst challenge is
getting attention. Word of mouth is your best friend for hooking
media and potential sponsors; fellow boarders, people on
chairlifts, you gotta blow ‘em away. The blue bar under the
trophy icon on the top-left side of the screen is your High Score goal, and each
mountain has three.
Also pivotal to getting your career rolling is impressing the
media. All over the mountain there are photographers with just
one thing on their minds: getting the sickest shot of the day.
Kill it in front of them, and you can guarantee that they’ll talk about it later.
Get media points by tricking near media icons. Each mountain has three Media
Score Challenges.
Sponsor
Impress the locals, get the media stoked, and the
sponsors will come. If a sponsor approaches you, it’s a
chance to impress them and maybe get free stuff. You’re told who the sponsor
is and what trick types they like. Just relax, do the tricks they like, and try hard
not to crash.

Shoot
When you start to get your name out there, you’ll have the
media knockin’ down your door to get shots of you. Make it
through all the colored rings and beat the listed score to
pass the challenge.

To really get to know a mountain,
you have to spend some time
exploring. There are three Own
the Mountain Challenges—Snowmen, Tricks, and Gaps. At any time, press the
START button to pause the game and select
Challenge Checklist
to display
your Own the Mountain Challenges.
Snowmen—
There are eight snowmen on each mountain that you have to fi nd
and hit. Some are in hard-to-reach places; but if you like to explore, you’ll track
them down. The best way to fi nd them? Use your ears and if you hear a really
strange voice, you’re getting close!
Tricks—
There are fi ve Trick Challenges on each mountain. They may be
simple tricks (Mute Grab), scores (do a 10,000 point trick), or advanced tricks
(do a 20,000 point style trick).
Gaps—
Each mountain has fi ve gaps that you have to jump. Gaps are
indicated on the mountain by a colored arc. A gap is completed if you
make the jump and don’t crash.
If you’re lucky, you’ll meet a local pro who likes your stuff and wants
to go riding. They’ll be your best friends, and you can learn sweet
tricks from them, but you’ve got to prove yourself. Follow their line and trick
where they trick. Colored circles indicate where you start a trick (green = easy,
blue = moderate, yellow = hard, red =
really
hard). Miss three tricks, or the last
trick of the run, and you fail.
If you’re good enough, you’ll be invited to compete in an
Event. Events are all-important in taking that next step in
your career. Place in the top three to pass the Challenge and progress to
the next career level.
So you’ve completed every Challenge. You’re ranked #1.
What’s left to do? If you’re driven, you have the chance to
earn a place among the greatest ever and become a legend. Each mountain
has a Legend Challenge, but be warned, you haven’t seen anything like them,
and there’s no shame in quitting, but no glory either!
