That looks chilly!
Hundreds of scantily-clad skiers took to the slopes in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, Russia, to try to break a world record.
Dressed in bikinis and colourful costumes, it was was part of the first BoogelWoogel mountain carnival.
Warm spring temperatures helped take the nip out of the air, and local media reported that 1,000 people took part.
That means it will have broken current record of 500 people skiing in bikinis, set in Sheregesh, Russia.
Organisers are now waiting for the confirmation from the Guinness World Records commission.
