Just to let anyone who reads this know, I played through this level twice to get a better idea of where enemy placements were. It didn't work, but do you really need a long, descriptive strategy here? Not really, I'm sure if you entered this level with the concept of "shoot everything that moves" you'd do just fine. However, I did my best to pick up all of the enemy locations, so here they are...

After skiing down the first slope and turning left, you're greeted by three enemies standing still in front of another drop. Even though you're weapon is the P2K, each enemy takes only a single hit to die. Past the terrorists, drop down the slope and a parahawk flies by you; you really don't need to worry about it, though, it takes too much to kill them and they really don't attack you until near the end of the mission.

Continue skiing (not that you really have another choice) around the next bend; there's a guard standing around shooting at you, followed by three more and a parahawk. Now drop down into the cave, there are eight terrorists, grouped in two sets of four scattered around.

Don't feel pressured to kill every single enemy; even if you pass by them, they won't follow you or anything like that. Fight through both packs; at the end is a jump guarded by two terrorists. Kill them along with the skier that sneaks up from behind. Shoot him before he drops something to trip you up, and then speed up and hang left. There's a fork in the trail just up ahead, so if you start heading left now you'll be able to take that path without any trouble. There are two guards in front of a jump, and after landing there are another two along with body armor (yes, even on 00 Agent).

Past the body armor is a tractor, and around the next corner is Tower 1. Shoot the barrels to destroy the fuel dump and continue down the slope. A few more enemies on skis, as well as a pair of parahawks and a snowmobile will attack you; play it safe and make sure to have your AK equipped around this section. Head inside the small cave begin picking up speed and hanging left again. Take the left path when the trail forks and you'll end up on top of a small hut with another bulletproof vest. Just ahead is Tower 2, so hit a barrel to complete objective C.

Now it's the simple matter of getting down the mountain alive. However, with full armor this shouldn't be a problem. Cross the bridge and shoot the barrels next to the tractor to send everyone nearby flying. Ski past the large building on the right and kill the three guards next to it; a parahawk flies by not afterwards, and a snowmobile jumps over you on the next jump. Don't shoot it or you'll take damage from the explosion.

In the final stretch, there are a half-dozen enemies hiding by the trees on either side of the trail, so shoot as many of them as you can. A parahawk flies at you, and there's another pair of guards in the middle of the trail next to some trees, but that's about it. At the end is a long row of barrels; shoot them from a distance to avoid taking damage. Electra's chopper is on the other side of the barrels, so ski a few yards more to finish the mission.
