Skiing

The winner is the fastest player to conclude two runs down the courses.

If a player misses a gate, the timing stops and the counter registers the numbers of violations.

The winner then is the player with the lesser number of violations.

The Giant Slalom event follows the same rules to the slalom, but is longer than the slalom, with gates farther apart.

In the Down Hill event, the winner is the player to achieve the end of the marked course in the shortest amount of time.

If the player goes off-course, the violations are counted instead, and the winner is the player with the lesser number of violations.

In any event, crashing into the gates will make the players lose time.

Each player's course is displayed at one half of the screen and separately, even though their progresses are shown simultaneously.

Players can go off-course and invade each other's courses, though.

The players select the events by pulling down the stick when the desired event's name is displayed in the screen.

The skiers are controlled with the stick.

By holding the stick down, the skier runs down in a straight line.

By pushing up, the skier stops.

Right and left will change the skier direction and pressing the action button will accelerate the skier's in 30% of its speed.

Skiing for Atari 2600 is currently worth €11.92 loose, €28.42 complete in box, and €174.26 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Skiing has only a handful of tracked market sales, suggesting relative scarcity compared to more common Atari 2600 titles.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Skiing, loose is €11.92 and CIB is €28.42 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Skiing is currently worth €11.92 loose, versus €8.24 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
