Badges are awarded for the two timed trials, with each trial having their own set of gold, silver, and bronze badges. Also note that runs completed in a shorter time will not earn the longer time badges. If you qualify for the gold, you'll have to do it again at a slower pace to get the silver or bronze.

Father Time's Ski Chalet

Overview

Added in the Winter Event 2006, the Ski Chalet in Pocket D is only accessible during Winter Events or when the developers use it during a special event. During Winter Events, many activities can be accomplished here.

The area is accessed via a door upstairs in the villain side of the club. The Chalet itself is home to Father Time and the Candy Keeper. The surrounding area has ski slopes that characters can slide down with a timed mini-game for badges, and Gravity Geysers (as in the Shadow Shard) to quickly return to the top.

Badge

The Chalet's island gives access to the map area outside the main Pocket D club, including the floating truck between the Chalet and the club. The truck is reachable via flight, super jump, or teleportation. Without those powers, the GvE Jump Pack is enough to get to the badge. If you have no temporary or permanent travel powers, assistance is needed. The truck is only available when the Chalet is open.

You've visited the floating truck in Pocket D.

Father Time

Main Article: Father Time

Father Time presents to players a mission to save the Baby New Year or to defeat Lady Winter. Like the Valentine's Event, these are cooperative missions, which allows combined teams of heroes, villains, and Praetorians (since it originates from Pocket D, which Praetorians have access to even if they have not "crossed over").

Rewards

Finishing a mission allows a choice between five rewards:

  1. Furry Gloves costume piece and the Crystallized Badge
  2. Furry Boots costume piece and the Frosty Badge
  3. Renewal of Light and the Miraculous Badge
  4. Golden Rings and the Joyful Badge
  5. 5 Candy Cane Salvage.
Bug! Accepting a reward when sidekicked or exemplared will cause the reward to fail.
Bug! Accepting a reward on another player's mission without cooperatively completing a mission of your own will cause the reward to fail.
Bug! Accepting a temporary power as a reward if previously awarded (even in a previous year's event) will cause the reward to fail. The temporary powers can be reacquired with Candy Cane Salvage.

Other Badges

Several enemy defeat badges may also be earned, including two that are normally available only to heroes (for defeating Red Caps and Tuatha de Dannan) but which may be earned by villains during the event. The mission cannot be reset for farming purposes, so you must complete the mission (or have the whole team log out) in order to get a new set of enemies to defeat.

Winter Costume pieces

Candy Keeper

Main Article: Candy Keeper

The Candy Keeper allows players to turn in Candy Cane Salvage for a variety of rewards. Rewards include badges, temporary powers, costume pieces, invention set recipes, a holiday respec, and emote.

It should be noted that if you already have the badge, then the badge will not display, however the Costume Item or Temporary Power associated with that badge will still show up and you can trade in Candy Canes for them. This is different from Father Time's mission reward menu in which if you choose a reward for which you already have the badge, you'll get nothing.

Ski Runs

In addition to an untimed Bunny Slope, players can perform timed trials on two different more difficult ski runs: the Expert Course, which is a Downhill Run; and the Advanced Ski Course, which is on a luge/skeleton/bobsled/toboggan track. There are no actual skis or luges or bobsleds... you slide down on your own two feet or hooves. Badges are awarded for the two timed trials, with each trial having their own set of gold, silver, and bronze badges. Also note that runs completed in a shorter time will not earn the longer time badges. If you qualify for the gold, you'll have to do it again at a slower pace to get the silver or bronze.

Bunny Slope Start

Untimed Bunny Slope

Get your ski legs on the bunny slope, which does not award any badges but allows players to get used to controlling the downhill slide without a timer involved. It wraps around the ski chalet, starting at the right side of the entry door. It does include a couple of ski course gates to practice on, and merges near the bottom with the timed Expert Ski Course.

Expert Ski Course Start

Timed Expert Ski Course

Added in the Winter Event 2007, the timed Expert Downhill Ski Course wraps around the ski chalet, starting at the left side of the entry door. It consists of passing through 12 ski gates (plus the starting gate) in a set order. Passing through each gate in the correct order places a waypoint at the next gate to pass through. The maximum amount of time the course allots is three minutes.
Ski down the expert slopes in the Ski Chalet in between 35 and 44.99 seconds. This also awards 2 candy canes even after the badge is earned.
