Everyone knows that at the end of the season, the only way to guarantee that the snow will return next year is to make sacrifices. Human sacrifices. Luckily in Norway they have more than a few willing volunteers to take the hit for the greater good.

Take for instance this wee edit of the Gråkallen Invitational (the easiest way to make a party or event sound cool is to call it an invitational) featuring a whole crew of Nords destroying themselves with equal measures of booze and snowboards.

Inappropriately positioned spectators? Check. Fire? Check. Questionable backflip spots? Check.

Good news guys, the snow will return for 2015. As will these guys hopefully.
