It's interesting that this genre got the name Slalom, referring to the skiing sport 🎿 Because sure, it does have the gates and the requirement to ski through them in order... but instead of being a path puzzle, it's a loop puzzle! Well for that to work you must need some kind of Penrose staircase, a mountain you could infinitely slide down and return where you started 🗻

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells, starting and ending at the circle. The loop may not enter blackened cells, and must pass straight through each gate exactly once. If a number N is pointing at a gate, it must be the Nth gate visited from the circle.
