YUKIGASSEN
IN MURMANSK, RUSSIA!
From humble beginnings in 2007, using borrowed equipment and guest officials from Finland and Norway, the Murmansk Yukigassen Committee worked hard and with commitment. When they held the Murmansk Yukigassen Tournament in March of 2008 - 52 teams competed! Yukigassen Fever had spread to Russia! Below and on Page Two and Three are some photos of their hard work.
