Ski Race


Skiing

Be the fastest skier down the slopes. The course is designed to encompass the beginner, intermediate, and advanced skier.

As you schuss in and out between the course and flag hazards you must strive for accuracy and poise as you attempt to win the race by either time or the point method.

(For 1 or more players.)

Image C The San Moritz Trail - The beginner trail designed to acquaint the new "skier" with all the fundamentals required to build his confidence and skill to advance to the longer trails.
Image D The Aspen Trail - The intermediate trail, which is longer than the San Moritz Trail, and features more jolts and hazards - a real challenge to the "weekend skier!"
Image E1 The Olympic Trail - The advanced trail which is the longest and most difficult trail...
Image E2 ...damanding the utmost in speed, skill, and accuracy.

HOW TO PLAY

There are two game variations which you can play. To begin competition in any of the two versions, one player is to signal when the "skier" is to start his run (1, 2, 3, GO). The "skier" then begins his descent down the trail. When the "skier" completes his run, the other player(s) follow down the trail. The HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL controls are used to guide the "skier". After each "skier" has made three runs, the score is tabulated.

If you light the East Mountain, the Central Mountain, or the West Mountain, you are disqualified for that run.
