Wii Fit Plus Balance Games Playthrough Part 2: Ski Slalom

Part 2 of our Wii Fit Plus Aerobics Playthrough sees us take on the Ski Slalom.  This is a pretty cool exercise that will help with your reflexes, reaction time, and agility.  Admittedly I have not played this one in quite some time.  That said, you can note how easy it is to come in rusty, re-learn the skill set, and improve with each session.  Let's check it out:

Ski Slalom

I have to say, I should probably play this one more...it is a ton of fun!  With Training Plus available on Wii Fit Plus, I tend to spend a lot of my time there, this reminded me how much I enjoyed the Ski Slalom on the original Wii Fit.  I'm not the greatest at it, but again, it sure is fun! 

You can see how the main goal should be to not miss any targets.  The 7 second penalties really kill you, regardless of how fast you went.  My advice is to pace yourself thru the checkpoints, but then speed up on the one or two long, downhill stretches.

You can also lean left or right for a longer period of time to make a slow turn...ie you convert your momentum to the side to avoid missing a marker. 

The best tip I can offer is just to practice.  Go once to learn the controls, again to work on speed, and then focus on the course and find the points to speed up and slow down...before you know it you will be improving each time and well on your way to a 4-Star Ranking!
