The scene depicts a snow-covered forest in Усьва, Russia, under a blue sky with scattered white clouds. The foreground consists of an expanse of snow featuring parallel ski tracks extending from the lower-left towards the center, alongside various animal and human footprints. The midground and background are populated by numerous tall, slender leafless deciduous trees, predominantly birches with light bark, interspersed with dark green coniferous trees. A prominent tall evergreen tree stands in the mid-right. A large deciduous tree is visibly broken and bent, with its upper trunk extending horizontally across the mid-frame from left-center towards the right, resting on the snow. In the distant mid-ground, a single human figure, wearing dark clothing, is observed standing or moving among the snow and trees. Sunlight is evident, illuminating the scene from the left.
