According to tradition, on “Shymbulak” Ski Resort, alpine skiing competitions in the discipline "Giant Slalom" are held for children aged 5 to 12 years. It took place on two training routes - “White Bear” and “Professor”. This year 106 participants were registered.

Each participant was given a starter kit for the participant, where included: a starting number, sweets, a backpack, drinking yogurt, an event card, a coloring and water.

Also there was a competition, where teams (maximum 10 people in a group) were competing on making a snowman. They had an hour to make the most creative snowman. At the end judges (including members of Kazakhstan Ski Association, sponsors and special guests) evaluated the competition and awarded winners and all participants.
