In this event, the player must complete three laps of a cross-country skiing course in the fastest time, with two shooting rounds in between laps. The player starts the event on a cross-country segment, where they must press {{button|ds|A}} to start. The player can charge up energy to perform a faster start by holding {{button|ds|A}} and releasing it when "Go!" appears, and can perform a starting dash by holding it from when "2" appears onscreen and releasing it with perfect timing. Once the event has started, the player can accelerate by repeatedly pressing {{button|ds|A}}, and with the speed of their acceleration depending on the speed of their {{button|ds|A}} presses. Accelerating between lanes and while travelling uphill uses up stamina, which is shown in a heart gauge and when fully depleted causes the player to travel at a significantly lower speed for a short amount of time. The player can move between lanes by using up and down on {{button|ds|pad}}. The player can refill the stamina gauge by following other characters to enter their slipstream, travelling through recovery areas and crouching by pressing {{button|ds|B}} on downhill areas. Performing these actions also fills up the sprint gauge, which gives the player sprint icons. These allow the character to gain a speed boost for a short amount of time, which can be used by pressing {{button|ds|X}} when the player has one or more sprint icons. At the end of lap, the character will move to a firing range for the shooting portion of the event. The player must press {{button|ds|A}} to cause their character to take a firing stance, which provides the player with a zoomed in view of the targets. The player must press {{button|ds|A}} to shoot when the cursor overlaps the target, and can adjust their cursor using left and right on {{button|ds|pad}}. The cursor moves up and down more when the character has a lower stamina, and the player has 30 seconds to shoot all five targets with only five shots. After each target is successfully hit, the cursor will automatically move onto the next target that the payer has not yet hit. The more targets the player hits, the more their sprint gauge will be filled and the smaller their penalty will be, with no penalty being awarded when all five targets are hit.
