How to unlock the Downhill Boss achievement in RTL Winter Sports 2009 - Definitive Guide
One of the harder bosses. On your first couple of tries, you don't have a chance. Watch the boss, when he's in front of you. He has a good line. It's only useful in 2 or 3 curves to push the B button. If you want know how to ski best, then you have to be near the boss for all the time. Because he has a weak point on the last downhill, right before the end. Stay on "A" all the time, even if you push "B"! Very important! Get a start of over 90.
Achievement unlocked!
You say he has a weak point on the last downhill. Well, what's the weak point?
He always seems to be able to go faster than me even when I'm not using carve at all. What am I doing wrong?
This is one of the challenges you have to complete in campaign mode. This is one of the hardest bosses in this game. This guy is fast and can cut corners like its nothing. What you want to do is get a really good start in the beginning of the race (98-100), that will serve you nicely. Now, don't carve at all during this race because it will slow you down and the boss is really fast. Just hold down and try and turn on corners hard. As usual you want to hug the flags near the corners of the race. It will give you the inside edge and a couple of seconds ahead of the boss. Flag hugging is extremely important because that’s the only way you can get down the hill fastest. If you don’t understand what this means, start a race with him and let him get ahead of you. Watch what he does and see how he sticks extremely close to the flags near the corners. Wide turns will slow you down and lose your lead. Also penalties will kill you in this race because they give you a two-second penalty.
