Snow Fall (Winter)

Season 5’s Snow Fall

The Snow Fall is an obstacle, first introduced as the fourth obstacle in the Qualifier of Season 5's Winter Wipeout, replacing both the Mood Swing and the Jiggle-ator from the previous season. It is sometimes shifted into the third obstacle, depending on the number of obstacles used in the first water or mud pool of the Qualifier.

It is a tall slide contestants must drop down and through a large spinning snowflake to the platform on the other side.

The usual result on the obstacle is that they land directly onto the snowflake instead of the platform. This obstacle is usually cleared via one of two ways:

  • Jumping into the slide from a standing position can give enough momentum for them to slide through cleanly, leaving timing as the only issue.
  • Alternatively, they can instead try to stop themselves from slipping off the slide, coming to a complete stop at the bottom instead, which lets them simply jump through the snowflake.

Only five contestants cleared this obstacle with two of them from the same episode:

  • Rob Petch (S5E2)
  • Talia Tolomeo (S5E2)
  • Michelle Assadi (S5E3)
  • Joseph Velazquez (S5E5)
  • Marly Barth (S5E8)

It was replaced by both the Poundabout and a modified Jiggle-ator when the season moved on to Summer Wipeout.
