Yukigassen is a sport with Japanese origins. It involves throwing a lot of snow at one's opponents.

"Yuki" means "snow" and "gassen" means "battle." Basically, we're talking a snowball fight here.
Yukigassen is a game between two teams with seven players each. The game is played on a court with certain measurements, and the winner is determined through rules made by the Japan Yukigassen Federation. It is similar to capture the flag; players are eliminated when hit with snowballs.

Annual tournaments are held in Japan, Norway, Russia, Sweden, Alaska, Canada, Armenia and even Australia.
