There are also snow and ice events such as snow-sledding, ice-sledding, bobsledding, and an ice train.
Bare-Handed Sancheoneo Fishing allows everyone to dip their hands in a huge tank full of Sancheoneo at the Ice Plaza and to try to catch a Sancheoneo. As Sancheoneo live in rapid currents, they are very fast and it is not easy to catch them bare handed. Therefore, it is fun both to try to catch them by yourself as well as to watch others trying to catch them.
