**Blazing Snow Racing** is a Spectre quest released for the GL Christmas 2021 event for the Global version of *Crash Fever*.

The event had a story quest associated with it, **Hidden Christmas Eve Miracle**; episode 1 will be covered on Snow White Innocence, episodes 2-3 will be covered on Doctrine of the Frozen Lake, part of episode 4 will be covered on Ice Hockey Challenge, and the rest will be covered on this page.

After the events of Ice Hockey Challenge, the final event of Saint Ursa Major's Winter Sports Day competition occurs - a snowmobile race. Nicholas introduces the event, mentioning that it is a very fast and also risky event. He notes that a good Santa must know how to pull their sleighs, hence why this is one of the events. Lucia, in a crass manner, boasts that it will be her turn to prove herself and defeat the rest of them.

Garuda vows to best her in this competition, saying that he won't let her make Christmas disappear. He asks the adapter if they agree, and the adapter nods. The adapter says that Christmas is about hopes and dreams, and even if Lucia doesn't like it, it doesn't mean that she should ruin it for everyone else. They say that Lucia surely must have at least one good memory of Christmas, but Lucia tells them to shut up since they don't know her and she doesn't want to bother explaining why.

Right before the race begins, Nicholas calls out to Lucia, who angrily asks him to quickly say what it is that he has to say. Nicholas sighs and asks why Lucia just can't be nice to others sometimes, before wishing her luck in the contest. Annoyed that was all he had to say, she just tells him to not distract her. Lucia thinks for a moment about something she had wanted her father to do when she was younger, but quickly pushes the thought out of her mind before it hinders her performance.

The race begins, and the contestants speed down the course. Lucia initially takes the lead, bragging to the others that their vehicles are much slower. Garuda takes that as a challenge, and speeds up his snowmobile to make a jump over a rock, which allows him to fly in front of Lucia. Lucia begrudgingly commends the effort, but states that moves like that will only damage his engine. He assures her that his snowmobile is not a normal one and can take it. The crowd voices their excitement for Garuda's technique, and the judges reward him with extra points.

The adapter follows behind the two, though not before noticing some of the other contestants were plotting something due to their anger at Lucia's rudeness. Some of them ask if it would really be a smart idea given how dangerous it is, but one of the others tells them to leave if they want to be a coward about it. The adapter overhears the conversation, and sees them take a detour in order to set up obstacles on the course. One of the contestants expresses concerns about getting their school disqualified, but the other remarks that that would be better than letting Lucia win.

The adapter speeds up their snowmobile in order to catch up to Lucia and Garuda to warn them of the upcoming danger. The two initially mistake the adapter's actions for trying to compete for first place against them, but the adapter quickly explains that isn't the case. Lucia asks why she should listen to the adapter's plea for her to slow down, and the adapter just says that there isn't enough time to explain and that they already asked some of the other contestants to try and stop the incoming trouble.

Lucia realizes that the adapter means that someone tried to put obstacles in the course, and Garuda remarks that that is pretty evil. Lucia asks the adapter to resolve the situation, before mentioning that she will keep trying to win the race. Garuda responds that he will do the same, and the two keep going forward. The two eventually near the finish line, just as most of the obstacles blocking the way were removed. However, a small obstacle that was missed still remained, and one of them hit it, taking out both of their snowmobiles and knocking a cloud of snow into the air.

Worried, Nicholas goes to see if both of them are okay, and is relieved when he does find them with only minor injuries. He mentions that the adapter told him everything about what was going on with some people trying to place obstacles. Lucia asks what they will do about the competition, and Nicholas says that they ought to get some rest first and can worry about it later.

Later, at the plaza, Nicholas congratulates all of the contestants, and states that there will be a Christmas fair for everyone to enjoy. Mimieux praises Lucia's performance in the contest, much to her surprise. Garuda does as well, and she responds that his technique wasn't bad either. Nyarlathotep says that they all did so well, and invites them all to join her at the Christmas fair. Lucia begins to think that maybe Christmas isn't really that bad, thinking back on her memories of Nicholas and her family, as she quietly has a few tears of happiness.

On the other side of the plaza, Morgan finishes watching the crowd and sneaks into the principal's office of Saint Ursa Major. She remarks that the "Christmas miracle" that would help grant wishes must be in there. She locates the bear that Nicholas always carried with him, and takes it and a box with it before leaving.

Morgan returns to Becker's palace, stating that she has retrieved what he asked her to get. Excited, Becker asks her to open the box, and she does so. However, rather than what they expected, a small Santa decoration pops up, with a note saying that Santa has no gifts for naughty children. Distraught, Morgan asks how this could be, while Becker just laughs and tells her it's okay. He remarks that only Santa Claus would know if the mysterious power was real in the first place.

The screen in the room then shows a Santa Claus dropping gifts from a sleigh, and Nicholas wishes everyone a merry Christmas.
