On Saturday, the third Naked Pig Skiing Festival kicked off at the Wanfeng Tonghua Ski Resort in Tonghua city, Jilin province.

Dressed in bizarre cosplay, skiers descended from a snowy peak into a pool of water at the bottom.

Braving the cold, participators showcased their skiing skills as they bid farewell to the snow season and welcomed the coming of spring.
