The scene depicts a winter urban landscape in Kirovsk, Russia, under an overcast sky. Two large, multi-story buildings dominate the left and right sides of the frame, both adorned with extensive, colorful mosaic murals featuring skiing themes. On the left, a mural prominently displays the upper face of a person, likely female, wearing a blue ski helmet and goggles, with blue eyes visible above a neck gaiter. The goggles reflect a snowy mountain scene with trees and small figures, possibly skiers. Above this figure, geometric patterns of blue and yellow diamonds frame a stylized image of a skier in mid-air with yellow skis. Below the figure's face, an arch-shaped section of the mural shows a twilight or nocturnal mountain landscape with a full yellow moon against a blue and purple sky, with multiple mountain ranges in varying shades of blue and purple. On the right, a portion of a similar mural is visible, depicting a ski lift carrying two seated figures, presumably skiers. A number "79" is faintly visible at the lower edge of this mural section. In the middle ground, between the two mural-covered buildings, a street lamp post with two luminaires stands tall. Below the lamp, several parked vehicles, mostly dark-colored sedans, are visible. Some vehicles feature roof racks or cargo boxes. Behind the vehicles and street lamp, a row of multi-story residential buildings, likely apartment blocks, extends horizontally. These buildings vary in color, including red brick and lighter shades. Bare deciduous trees or shrubs are interspersed between the foreground and the middle ground structures. The ground in the immediate foreground is covered in patchy, dirty snow and dark slush. In the background, large, snow-covered mountains rise under a uniform, light grey sky, indicating an overcast day. Multiple black utility wires crisscross the upper portion of the frame, stretching diagonally between the buildings and over the street.
