Approximately 5,000 individuals attended the festival, where they were able to enjoy bag skiing. Everyone from 7 to 70 years old who had their bags in hand attempted to ski on the natural tracks that had been made. In the snow-covered festival area, those who were cold tried to warm up by playing horon. Mustafa Yilmaz, a highlander who set up a stove in an open place, stated:

“We are warming Ayder Turkey now. We’re trying to warm up by playing Horon, it’s not enough. We come, we warm up at the stove.”

Adil Kosif, who was caught in the highlands carrying a bag, stated:

“I fall every time, but I keep sliding. Now I’m so wet and cold I’m going to take a break, then I’m going to keep enjoying skiing with the bag.” Omer Berke Agile, who cried because his mother did not let him play with the snow much, said, “My mother does not allow me to play with the snow because I will be sick. But I want to play with the snow. I want to ski, please let my mother.”
