(Professional Mission)

Description:

You have decided to take on the ultimate Olympic skiing challenge! Your first mission is a cross-country trek you must bring the green block to its associated zone. Take the treacherous shortcut for the best score, or the safe route – your choice! Next come the moguls. Can you navigate across this rugged terrain to bring the blue block to its home? On the final leg of the race, you must make it back to the starting zone with the red block. This means more moguls and treacherous obstacles. What a race! Hope to see you on the Podium!
