Participants spent the week attending the festival while challenging weather temperatures and wearing nothing in the snow.
The annual event began on Wednesday, April 7, and lasted until today.
Most participants took to the ski tracks in swimming suits, short pants and bikini, without protective masks against Covid-19.
Such festivals have become known at Russian ski resorts to mark the end of the winter season.
In 2019 the festival was visited by 30,000 tourists who celebrated in the snow at the pace of music.
“We saw real courage, resistance to the cold, and it was a surprise for organisers as well,” said Nikita Girin, one of the festival organisers.
Neither snow nor rain nor frost can stop us. ”
About 738 people between the ages of 16 and 70 participated in the festival this year.
They were supported by 30 thousand others who had gone to look closely at a height of over 1,000 feet [1,100 m].
This festival is being held every winter since 2016, and organisers aim to expand the attendees ' list every time, reports the DailyMail.
