The Sport of Yukigassen, played in snow-loving countries like Norway, Finland, and Japan, is basically an organized snow ball fight. It's a lot like capture the flag--each team has nine players, and they must attempt to capture the other team's flag without being hit by snowballs. If you get hit, you're out. It's played on a court that has huge chunks of snow called "castles" that you can hide behind.
