I've replied to too many idiots. Don't be one that I don't reply to. I do this for free. If you have a beef, buy the official guide. If you want to bitch about me telling you to spend money...then welcome to my trash folder. Now that that's done. Okay, I have played this game to death to write this and the other level walkthroughs. In fact, I played it so much that I began to not enjoy it. I wanted to make sure that the first couple of levels I had written were put into action since I know that I'm not going to finish writing the rest of the levels. I don't even want to play the game anymore. So, before you you write me and ask how to do different things on the later levels, don't. I'm only covering these levels and will not entertain e-mail about the others: - Donner Ski Ranch - Aspen - Kirkwood - Heavenly - Snowbird _______________________________________________________________________________ REVISION HISTORY 1.0 (12/29/2001) First version of this guide. I was hoping it would be the last one until I got a lot of hate mail because I started the gap list after getting sick of the game. 1.1 (3/01/2002) Stripped the gap list due to idiots e-mailing me. Added information to the author's note. _______________________________________________________________________________ ASPEN Challenges: - Boarder Score : 40,000 pts - Pro Score : 100,000 pts - Sick Score : 200,000 pts - Finish before 1:25 with 30,000 pts - Manual to the jump, then pull off a flip and two grabs on the way down.

Land with a manual and ride it to the tree. slide up the tree, to the line, manual on the roof and flip or hold over the jump. Land it and book it to the bottom of the hill. --[ Collect the Aspen logos ]-------------------------------------------------- Start down the hill as usual and take the jump. Instead of grinding the tree and the wire, head up the left ledge, instead. You'll see a large drift of snow. Use it to jump over to the top of the lodge. Now, grind the awning to get the first logo. Continue down the slope normally until you reach the mid-level house packed in snow. Ride up the wire and get the logo. Keep going. Head for the yuppie's house on the right. At the end of the deck, grind the pipe down to the water tower to get the third logo. Continue down the slope regularly and hit the jump at the end of the sled run. Grind the wire to the junction. Make sure you get on the left wire to get the logo. --[ Find the secret sponsor ]-------------------------------------------------- At the first yuppie's house, get on the upper deck and slide the edge near the house. When you land, take the jump and slide the wire. Lean to the right at the edge. Balance to the end. NOTE: You have to lean to the right to make sure that your boarder goes on the appropriate line. Otherwise they will just fall off without the sponsor. --[ Demolish the coffee stands ]----------------------------------------------- Ride down the hill and take the jump. Grind the logs on the left side of the lodge and they'll lead you to the first coffee machine to break. Now, take the path right in front of you. Go past the yuppie's house to the chairlift. It's on the right side of the lift. Smash it and continue. Go down the hill until about the mid-point, where the snow-covered house is located. Take the left path and break the coffee machine there. Head to the right and you'll see the big house (and a yuppie who likes to cheer you on). Head up onto his deck and break his machine. Grind down to the water tower and off onto the lift line. Transfer to the left wire and ride it over the mountain jump off near the lodge. The last coffee machine is on the far left side of the lodge. --[ Bonk the gondola ]--------------------------------------------------------- At the beginning of the run, head down the mountain and through the lift lodge's window. Go through the lodge and up the tree. slide the left tree and transfer to the wire. Jump off and bonk the gondola. Alternatively, you can manual down the mountain, trick off the jump, grind the tree and transfer to the wire. Manual to the jump and jump off the left side of it and grind the gondola line. When you see the gondola, jump off and bonk it. You'll get a rather nice score as well. Thanks to the players at the Shaun Palmer Pro Snowboarder message board at www.gamefaqs.com for the second one. I suck and have trouble doing it, but they thought it was much easier than my way. --[ Show the yuppies the bottom of your board ]-------------------------------- After the jump at the beginning of the level, take a hard right. See the house there? Go up the lower deck and use the stairs to launch you over the first yuppie. Stay to the right until you see two quarter-pipes. Go directly down the middle of them and use the snow bank to launch yourself over the yuppies' head. Continue down the hill and take the snowmobile. Yes, I know that there's a yuppie just waiting to be jumped, but trust me. This time, take a left at the lodge after the jump and head around it. Go through the left track to find the next yuppie just waiting for you to jump him. Ride up his steps and launch right over his head. Now, continue back down the hill to where you got on the snowmobile. Avoid it this time and jump the yuppie at the big house just past it. That's four. The last one is a little annoying. Head to the bottom of the hill, keeping left in the sled run. Go around the jump on the right side and aim for the yuppie standing on the concrete. Time it right to jump over her. _______________________________________________________________________________ CREDITS AND THANKS - CJayC and Shadotak, as always. - My ferrets, Tuffy and Kiki. - Aurora Snow for her "performances."
