Sled Balance Practice
Spend a few minutes on a gentle slope, focusing on how weight shifts affect tipping. Record the speed at which the sled becomes unstable for future reference.
- Start with gentle turns to feel how the sled reacts to weight shifts.
- Observe how slower movement reduces tipping risk compared to rapid acceleration.

Route Mapping
Sketch the linear and open‑ended sections on paper. Evaluate which paths provide clearer sightlines versus those that increase exposure to the environment.
- Identify the linear sections first to anticipate fixed obstacles.
- Contrast open‑ended zones with tighter paths to gauge risk versus visibility.
