If you have ever thought of winter sports such as snowboarding and skiing as being a little on the boring side, we’ve got some really extreme winter sports to tell you about.  Slegooning is a an extreme winter sport that you might find very interesting.   In this sport, participants zip rapidly down a snow covered slopes in single person sleds with protective roll bars called Slegoons.  These people are in full-contact races,  and can continue even when overturned.  It’s one of the most cutting edge sledding sports in the world, but it’s not for the faint of heart.

Another extreme winter sport, ice diving, allows experienced scuba divers to apply their mad skills — under the ice.  There is only one approved place for this in Switzerland, where three holes are cut in the ice in the beginning of the season, and the site is carefully and safely maintained  between December and April. The only people allowed to participate are experienced divers with a diving certificate, and responsibility for safety is each person’s own.  This is one of the most dangerous winter sports on earth and should never be attempted casually, and everyone’s home should enjoy ADT Security.  Below, enjoy some beautiful photography taken by ice divers.
