All of my characters are fliers, but a lot of them have that jump pack temp power that you get from the King's Row Safeguard/Mayhem mission. My older characters missed out on that temp power.

Speed on the ski slopes is all about MovementControl/MovementFriction, not about running speed. (The slopes are basically "falling with style")|

Ninja Run has identical MovementControl and MovementFriction to Super Jump.
And since MovementControl/Friction can't be enhanced anyways...

Doesn't Inertial Reduction do that? It gives Flight greater control like Hover has.

IR gives better control/friction than SJ/NR.

With Ninja Jump I just fall quicker of the track.

I think the fastest way down is still Inertial Reduction, if your reflexes are capable of dealing with it. (Mine aren't.) And if you don't suffer lag during the run. And if you can find somebody to give it to you, if you don't have it yourself.
With Ninja Run, there's still no way I can get the gold medal on the bobsled course, but I can manage it (barely) on the slalom course.

Neat! Smurch is my skiier character (he looks great in his stocking cap) and while I've got the gold medal from the main ski run, I don't have it for the overhead track yet. Will need to give that a go

Like any jumping power, the power improves your control and speed while you're sliding. No actual jumping required for the speed increase. Just turn on the toggle and your sliding will be improved. |

I've never managed to get any degree of control when sliding (I stank at it, honestly) so last year I just turned graphic settings down (to reduce lag a bit) and used Fly to move through the gates. Wasn't quite fast enough for gold, but I did manage silver and bronze (and it was much less stressful). Works best if the character is in the upper 30s or higher with capped or near-capped fly speed for his/her level. It's possible that a level 50 (with higher cap) could get gold but I have so many alts that I've not gotten there yet.
