This is you, a skier.
This is another skier. You will often see him skiing down the slope and you can see him, rarely, but sometimes you can see him being eaten by the monster!
This is another skier. He zips down the slope at the speed of lightning (well, almost) and is hard to avoid.
I've referred to it, and now you see it: the monster! There are two main ones, above the start line and below the finish line. By pressing F, you turn on fast mode and that is the only way you can outrun the monster. And if you crash, you are eaten as well. Use caution.
This little dog is your friend. It's hard to crash into him, but when you do, some surprising things happen... Find out for yourself.
This is one type of ski jump. On Freestyle, the better your jumps, the higher you score!

These are different kinds of ski jumps.

These are various types of trees. They are scattered around the ski slopes. Be careful not to crash into them!
Let us all close our eyes in mourning, for this tree has passed away. If you jump over it, you may set it on fire!

This is a stump. Like trees, they are obstacles. The stump can be transformed by skiing over it into a mushroom, also an obstacle.
This is a stone. Stationary. Gray. Hard. Nothing special, but crashing into it isn't advisable.
