The Larches
A balcony facing south, high above a wide valley: golden larches among the firs, and dry-stone walls that cut the slope into terraces. Each wall is jumped across the whole width of the run.
Clotilde waits at the very top, on the flat above the larches. Land near her, or click her, to choose your run; the site is also chosen on the sites screen of Schuss!.
The blue
The widest in the game, and the gentlest: a larch wood an ibex crosses, a mogul field, a hamlet whose roofs make kickers, then two low terraces. The schuss leads to the finish.
| Medal | From | And at the finish |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze medal | 1,500 | Any place |
| Silver medal | 4,600 | Or win the race, whatever the score |
| Gold medal | 8,200 | And 1st place; otherwise, silver |
The red
Narrower. The wood closes in, then four terraces in a row: four walls, four jumps. Then the moguls, three kickers one after the other and a steeper schuss. Its bends push outward, and their raised edges throw you into the air.
| Medal | From | And at the finish |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze medal | 1,500 | Any place |
| Silver medal | 5,200 | Or win the race, whatever the score |
| Gold medal | 9,400 | And 1st place; otherwise, silver |
The black
The steepest: the larches are taken as a slalom, then a narrow couloir between two rock walls, where there is nothing but blueberries and the line to hold. Four high walls, tight moguls, and the steepest schuss, lined with rocks.
| Medal | From | And at the finish |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze medal | 600 | Any place |
| Silver medal | 3,200 | Or win the race, whatever the score |
| Gold medal | 6,200 | And 1st place; otherwise, silver |
