  Pass the pointed end of a ski pole through the loop of the floor and drive it into the snow.  Put a cap of the tent on the top end of the ski pole, circle a guy-rope around the ski pole, fixing the position of spring loop, and fasten it to a ski driven or tramped into the snow.  Do the same with all the edges of the tent 
  Tie up together two skis and use them for stretching the roof of the tent.

The tent is disassembled in the opposite order.
