Yannick should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
the skislope circuit

Thanks bio for the thumbs up.

Here's the first to be published in 2011, and this time it's one of the "weird conceptual track" variety. I had thought about the concept of a skislope circuit a few years back. Since global warming would lead to a decrease of tourism in skiing areas like the Alps for example, other attractions would need to be developed in the area, so why not a unique track for motor racing that features extreme elevation changes over the course of a single lap?
I don't know if the G-Maps service allows for a display of height lines, but the satellite picture should give you an impression of the overall height at which the ski slopes start. Enjoy!

The track runs anticlockwise.

And let me invite you to design ski slope circuits of your own! I'm already looking forward to your ideas on the subject. Thanks.
