Layered Ski Hotel Zig-Zags Up Norwegian Mountain

One of Copenhagen-based architecture/design team BIG's newest projects is this awesome hotel and apartment complex designed specifically for hard core skiiers in Norway. It's built in layers along the natural slant of the mountain so that residents and guests can ski in and out no matter what floor they're staying on. More pics after the jump.
