Pitching the tent
First, I pitched the tent in my garden. 

Fix the base layer on snow by using snow stakes

Fix the tent fly to the same stakes

Tie the ropes over ski poles and anchor

Load snow on the flaps to make the tent storm-proof

Load as much snow as possible for better protection from the wind

Put the center pole from inside

The first residents ever

Ski as centre pole and ventilation hole

Reliable door with no zip

This is the first prototype, It was about 180 cm high too tall for windy weather and cold inside due to the volume

The prototype was tested on Kackar Mountains, April 2001
