    As you explore Icicle Inn, you'll leawrn that Ifalno of the Cetra (Aeris' mother) lived here long ago, but it's rumored that the Shinra kidnapped her.  Her home is still standing, so you can check out the recording equipment inside her house to learn more about Ifalno, Professor Gast, the Cetra, and Jenova.

    You'll also learn that a man passed through the town earlier and headed to the Northern Limits.  To rach the Northern Limits, you must pass through Great Clacier and scale the Gaea Cliffs.

    If you try to exit town through the back, a local stops you.  Tell him you're leaving and Elana suddenly appears, spounting something about how she's upset about Tseng.  Dodge her punch by pressing to the left or right and she'll go rolling out of Icicle Inn.

Note:

        If Elena decks you, you'll awaken in Ifalno's house.

    Ther remaining Shinra soldiers won't let anyone in or out of Icicle Inn until Rufus arrives.  You can still get down to Great Glacier, but you'll need some supplies.

    If you want to cross Great Clacier, you'll need a map... and there's only one map in town.  This map is tacked to the wall at Mr. Holzoff's house.  Mr. Holzoff isn't around, so he won't mind if you borrow the Glacier Map and the supplies from teh back room.

    How does one get down to Great Glacier?   Snowboarding seems to be the big rage around here, so maybe Cloud can borrow one.   Check the family who lives in the center home.  You can borrow  the boy's snowboard since he won't be using it anytime soon.

Snowboard Controls

Note:

        Before entering Great Glacier, equip your party with armor and accessories that defend against Ice attacks.

    The steep hill behind Icicle Inn is a monster snowboarding course.  You need to fly through tight turns and dodge obstacles on your way down the course.  Most of the time, you can make the turns by just using the D-Pad, but sharper curves require sharper turns.  Prepare to use the Edge Left or Right command a lot.  This will help you make those tough turns, which in turn makes you a master snowboarder.  If you need to slow down, use the breaks to get past some of the obstacles and curves.

    The course splits twoice near the bottom.   Check out the Great Clacier maps to see where each path takes you.
