One of my favourite courses in We Ski is Dolphin Park because of the ramps for air tricks. The instruction booklet doesn't list the available tricks, you have to go to the Ski School to discover those and then remember the various controls for each trick. Or, if you have a crappy memory like me, you can use this handy We Ski Air Tricks Cheatsheet.

We Ski users of a particularly superstitious nature may have noticed that there are 13 courses at the Happy Ski Resort. Well as it turns out, there are actually 14 courses. Skip the rest of this post if you don't want to spoil finding it for yourself.

So here's how to find the hidden run. First go to the top of Elephant Stage. Instead of going straight on down the run, turn to the left and ski towards the two green ski lift buildings 5 and 6. Opposite lift 6 is a wooden chalet with a strange yellow sign next to it. Now ski between the sign and the old tree towards the boundary fence and you've found it - Bigfoot Canyon.

Be warned though, this is not an easy run but there's any extra treat along the way that makes it worthwhile. I won't spoil it for you except to say that there is more than one way down BIGFOOT Canyon - getting the hint?

A big thanks to Markus M for reminding me of this one. I actually saw it posted online a while back but never got around to trying it myself (no excuse I know).

"If a dog passes you from behind, you can accelerate and follow the dog from then on. This way you have several alternate routes to jog along. Also, along the way there are several depictions of 'Mario' painted on houses and stuff and a rotating yellow 'Bonus Star' on top of a Tree."

Have you tried the Wii Fit Ultimate Balance Test yet? Did you even know there was one? It's actually a little easter egg tucked away on the training selection page. To get to it, first select your Mii character in the Wii Fit Plaza and then, on the calendar page select training. On the training page you should see a little Wii Board bouncing in the background or running on the treadmill - click on it to take the test. Good luck - I certainly haven't managed it yet!
