Geocache Description:

Lesser Known Winter Sport Athletes:
RDC4106
Yukagassen.


Yukagassen

Yukigassen (雪合戦?) is a snowball fighting-competition from Japan. Today there are annual tournaments in Sobetsu, Hokkaidō in Japan, Kemijärvi in Finland, Vardø in Norway, Mount Buller, Victoria in Australia, Luleå in Sweden, Anchorage in Alaska, and Jasper, Alberta and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in Canada. The word Yukigassen consists of the Japanese words yuki (snow) and kassen (battle). Hence Yukigassen means snow battle. 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. Players wear special yukigassen helmets with face shields, and a set number of snowballs (90) are made in advance.


This should be a quick one as long as the snowbank isn't too tall
