Coming Soon — Navigator Skill Trees

Soon, you’ll have the opportunity to guide your support crew like never before. With the upcoming **Navigator Skill Trees** update, you’ll unlock specialized skill paths for each of your team members. These paths are designed to enhance their abilities on the slopes, giving you the edge in tough conditions and dynamic events. **Strategy starts before the ride**, as you’ll be able to carefully tailor each navigator’s skillset to match the terrain and challenges ahead.

From Support to Expert

With this update, your navigators are no longer just passive teammates — they now have distinct skill trees that evolve as you progress. Each navigator can follow one of several paths to enhance their abilities and contribute more strategically to your journey down the mountain.

Skill Pathways

Each navigator has access to specialized skills that can be unlocked as you train and progress through the game. Here are some of the paths available:

• Terrain Awareness — reduces fatigue on difficult terrains, increases speed on icy slopes, and helps identify optimal routes through rugged areas.
• Stamina Boost — improves resistance to exhaustion, increasing overall performance in long-distance runs or high-altitude environments.
• Line Spotter — passive bonus to identifying the best lines for jumps, tricks, and avoiding obstacles, giving you a competitive edge.
• Snowstorm Survival — boosts performance in blizzards and whiteouts, allowing better navigation through stormy conditions with improved visibility and stability.

As you unlock more skills, your navigators will become key contributors to your success on the slopes, enhancing both gameplay and strategy.

Strategic Impact on Your Expedition

The new skill trees will have a direct impact on your expeditions. Your navigators' chosen paths can help you **conserve resources**, **increase efficiency** during runs, and **give you an advantage** in unpredictable weather and terrain shifts. Whether it’s spotting the best line through a tricky descent or providing a crucial stamina boost during a marathon run, the right skills can make the difference between victory and failure.

Synergy and Coordination

Each navigator’s skills are designed to **complement your playstyle**, creating new opportunities for team synergy. Want to optimize for speed and precision? Invest in **Line Spotter** and **Terrain Awareness**. Or if you prefer longer, more challenging runs, focus on **Stamina Boost** and **Snowstorm Survival**. The combination of skill sets will allow you to fine-tune your team’s capabilities and adapt to every situation that the mountain throws your way.

Future Expansions

This system is just the beginning. In future updates, expect even deeper customization options, new skill trees to unlock, and the ability to further specialize your team members. We’ll be expanding the options to allow for a more nuanced approach to teamwork and strategic preparation for each race and expedition.
