Ski Slalom

The objective is to guide your Mii between the red and blue flags on the course as quickly as possible without missing any. Gates that are missed result in a seven-second penalty. To guide your Mii through the slalom course, lean left and right so that your Mii skis between the flags. Movements should be subtle. Leaning too much in either direction makes it difficult to change directions quickly enough for you to guide your Mii between the flags.

You can increase your speed by leaning forward and slowing down by leaning backward. To achieve an optimal speed, position yourself so that the balance point located in the upper-right corner of the screen is maintained in the blue balance bar. This may prove difficult at first. You may want to concentrate on improving your time only after you are able to comfortably guide your Mii between all the flags.

Scoring: Scoring is all about completing the course in the least amount of time possible. Every missed gate results in a seven-second penalty being added to your total time. A score of 18 seconds on the beginner setting would give you a perfect, 4-star rating. A time of 30 seconds with no missed gates would give you a perfect, 4-star rating on the advanced level, which is unlocked after repeated play of the beginner level.

Ski Jump

The objective of this game is to achieve the farthest cumulative distance (in meters) in two jumps. Like the Lotus Focus and Penguin Slide, there is no advanced setting to unlock. You start the activity with your knees bent and your body leaning forward. To achieve the optimal position, make sure the red balance dot in the upper-right corner of the screen appears in the blue balance zone (also a dot in this case); maintaining it slightly above the blue dot will allow you to gain additional speed. After your Mii reaches the red jump zone at the end of the ramp, straighten your knees as quickly as possible and stand as straight and centered as possible for the duration of the jump.

The trick to mastering this is to “jump” at the right moment. If you straighten your knees too early or too late, your Mii will fall off the ramp and turn into a virtual snowball.

It may take at least a few tries to overcome your natural instincts, but remember when “jumping” you’re merely extending your legs from the bent position to get your Mii airborne. If your feet leave the Balance Board at any time, Wii Fit Plus will end your game immediately.

Scoring: The distance you achieve on both jumps is added together for the final score. So far, the highest score we’ve seen online is a cumulative 404

meters; the average score appears to be between 120 and 160 meters per jump or a cumulative score between 240 and 320 meters.
