I've seen Cloud 9 and I have to explain the scene. In the ski station where apparently everybody lives knows that Dove Cameron's character is not so great as a snowboarder except herself, so her father (the owner) and her coach usually get rid of the good female competitor so she can win. That's the reason she's not doing good tricks but still has a high score
