The competition is hosted by the International Mountaineering Federation (ISMF), Asian Mountaineering Federation, Gangwon State, and Korean Mountaineering Federation, organized by the Korea Mountaineering Association, and officially sponsored by Mona Yongpyong, sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the National Sports Promotion Agency, the Korea Sports Council, and the Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province Sports Council, and sponsored by Trango, Mirzon Molak Research Institute, Mystery Wall and Scarpa.
The competition will be divided into sprint, visual, and men's and women's senior, U23 (under 23), U20 (under 20), and equal player categories. More than 150 domestic and foreign players, including Japan, China, Kazakhstan, Iran and Pakistan, will participate, while Korean national team members Jeong Ye-ji, Kim Mi-jin, Jung Jae-won, Koo Jeong-haeng and Oh Young-hwan, who participated in the last Harbin Winter Asian Games, will participate.
Mountain skiing is a non-powered eco-friendly sport that does not use lifts in snow-covered mountainous terrain and uses skis to climb and fall mountains. The sprint event consists of one uphill-uphill-upton-walking-down section at an altitude of about 70m. Vertical events are ranked in the order of fast arrival of only one uphill section after simultaneous departure from the start line. In addition, unlike last year's competition, indie visual events will be held. IndieVisual is held for hobbyists and is characterized by a long course including various topography.
On the 15th, the opening ceremony and the vertical game will be held after the indie visual game of the amateur event, and on the 16th, the sprint game, the awards ceremony and the closing ceremony will be held. Cho Jwa-jin, chairman of the Korean Mountain Federation, said "Sanaxki (skimountainering) event was adopted as an official event at the Harbin Winter Asian Games, and it was also adopted as an official event at the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics. As this competition has been held in Korea for more than 20 years, we ask for your interest."
