Winter sport lovers in Belarus are welcoming spring by putting on fancy costumes and diving into icy cold waters.
It was the ninth time the festival "Californication" was held in a town east of country's capital, Minsk.
This event takes place at the end of each winter with participants saying good-bye to the ski slopes they will not be able to enjoy riding again until the next winter.
Their last ride of the season is even scored in several categories such as best costume, best trick, and longest swim.
