The group of ten skiers spent the day in Room 531 at Ural Polytechnic Institute in Sverdlovsk. They were all members of the UPI Sports Club and were frantically packing their rucksacks and getting their equipment ready as they had a train to catch.

The group was warmly welcomed at a school close to Serov railway station. A janitor made arrangements so that they could store their equipment. It was a free day for the group, and the diary entry for that day was made by Yury Yudin.

The group traveled by train to Ivdel, the last major point of contact with civilization before they set out on the journey north into the more remote Siberian Taiga and the mountains of the northern Urals. The town was the center of the Gulag camp system.
