How to unlock the 24 carats Gold challenger achievement in STEEP - Definitive Guide
Can now confirm, thanks TheProwlerKing, that the Rocket Wings DLC doesn't count, just the 3 freebie ones.
Obviously I can't give you exact guide for every event, but if like me you were missing about 5 gold's for years, this might be a lightbulb moment.
Most events are fairly easy across the mountain. Here is a general breakdown of the best tips and strategies to earn a gold medal in each type of event:
Ski/Snowboard Challenges
Score multiplier - to increase the multiplier in these events, you can do so by doing tricks, riding close to trees, rocks or glaciers and not crashing. If you crash/wipeout, the multiplier resets. See each event to find out more.
Events
Cliff Drop - This event is one huge drop off the side of the mountain in order to do one big trick and land it successfully. Sometimes it's better to switch sports to "on-foot" and start further back, than what the game would start you out as so you can gain more speed before making your jump. To get big tricks, move the in the desired direction for flips/spins and the in different directions to do different tricks. Add grabs/holds in by holding either , or both.
Snow Park - In these events you will not always have speed on your side as much as you'd like. Sometimes it's better to back up your starting point, much like with Cliff Drop events. If you find yourself in a half-pipe, you do not necessarily have to follow the white guide line. You can try to fit in as many tricks as possible, while still keeping your momentum. The same strategy applies to doing tricks here.
Freestyle - These events are an "A to B" style events, sometimes with checkpoints thrown in. During these events, you can gain points by doing normal tricks but also by riding close to trees, rocks or glaciers. Getting your multiplier up as fast and high as possible in the beginning is key.
Boarder/Ski Cross, Derby and Races - These are timed events, sometimes with checkpoints involved. Tricks are not required here and your multiplier has no effect on your speed. Depending on the course, sometimes skiing is better than boarding due to the ability to control your character in tight areas. Hold the forward whenever possible to pick up speed, stay low and unless necessary avoid getting "big air" on jumps.
Creative Line - These events are unusual for a game like this. In this event, points are awarded for taking the path of most resistance. The goal is to ride on hills, cliffs, rocks, glaciers and peaks whenever possible. Doing so is the only way to increase your multiplier, which is slow to increase. Doing tricks will not increase it. Speed isn't required in these events, as most times it's better to take it at a moderate pace so you have more control in the tight areas. Like any other event, when you wipeout; the multiplier will reset. The white guide line is always a good bet but in some of the harder events you want to stray away from it in order to get gold but still stay on the general path.

Wingsuit Challenges
Events
Skydiving and Derby - These events require you to beat a certain time in order to obtain the gold. When starting these events you must have your wingsuit equipped and press the forward in order to begin. You must fly through checkpoints throughout the course. Like skiing/boarding, holding forward will help you pick up speed while also bringing you close to the ground. The is used for faster manoeuvring. Move it to the right or left in order to dodge obstacles in front of you at high speeds. The multiplier has no effect on the outcome of these.
Proximity Flying - These events are all about flying close to something, whether it be the ground, rocks, glaciers or slopes. Staying as close as possible will bring up your multiplier. If you drift too far away from everything to where you're in "open" air you will not score any points. These events have checkpoints at times so make sure you keep an eye on the orange-highlighted checkpoint coming up next so you can position yourself correctly.
Paraglide Challenges
Events
Cross-Country and Ascent - These events are for time, sometimes involving checkpoint in-between start and finish. To be successful, fight the urge to move the . Most times, as long as you're near the white guide line, your glider will be right where in needs to be without sacrificing speed. If you have to make any adjustments, do not use the aggressively as it will end up costing you time. If you find yourself needing to descend quickly, hold down instead of using the as you will descend faster without sacrificing speed. When ascending, you will notice anywhere between 0 and 5 green arrows accompanied by an increasing audible beeping noise. To climb up quickly, stick close to the mountains to find a nice up-draft. When that draft goes away, use to quickly do a 180 and continue to use this "zig zag" method to the top.
Crossways Thrill - This is the only paraglide event for points. The multiplier is the same as during Proximity Flying events in the wing suit. Stick to the mountains, fly between the tops of trees or close to obstacles in order to increase your multiplier and score points.
Obtain the gold medal in each event and the trophy is yours. See my video guide for the hardest ones here: LINK
Try to choose one sport. Have you closed one? Okay, move on to the wingsuit or paraglider.
This way you will definitely get used to the controls.
