---- RULES ----

Normal Sudoku rules apply: Fill the grid with digits 1 to 9 appearing once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.

Slalom gates: The slalom gates act as between lines. Cells along a line connecting the poles (circles) of a gate must have values between those in the circles.

Silent Ski Loop: Help the skier find the fastest (i.e., shortest) closed loop that passes through all gates (by crossing all between lines). The loop must run orthogonally between adjacent cells and cannot hit the poles (circles) of the gates. Furthermore, the skier must be as silent as possible to not attract the Yeti. Therefore, the loop will be a German whispers line where digits in adjacent cells along the loop must differ by at least 5.

Kropki dots: Digits in cells connected by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio. Is this where the Yeti is hiding?
