During the first stage (hiking), participants reach the ski depot, collect their skis/snowboard, and walk with them to the start of the ski route. They then ski down a prepared slope to the depot, where they return their equipment and continue the hiking stage. All types of skis intended for alpine skiing with a minimum length of 140 cm, as well as snowboards and splitboards, are allowed. Skis intended for classic skiing are not permitted.
