How to control a trick

On a keyboard, hold Space to charge a jump and release to take off. Use the arrow keys to rotate in the air, then release them to spot the landing. Hold Space in the air to tuck, or hold 1–5 for grabs.

Press ? for your current controls. Gamepad and touch controls have their own prompts; the movement descriptions below are not keyboard bindings. See ski movement and camera controls.

Find a place to practice

Choose Freeski Parks and enter a mountain with park features. Start with a straight air or a simple rail slide, then add rotation. Use the same feature for a few attempts so you can adjust your approach.

For your own practice line, build a jump, rail, or box and switch to skiing to test it. The trick tree records landed tricks; the list above is a selection, not the full tree.
