Cult quackery.
I wonder how long they actually stay in there.
Long enough to shoot the video.
Short enough not to cause permanent damage, or death.

Rolling in snow at -20C after a sauna session is a thing. Those gases
might be cold, but they have very little heat capacity because they
have very little mass, unlike 0C meltwater, or -20C snow. So as long
as they're not passing a constant stream over you (instagram doesn't
let me see vids or images, so I have no idea what they've actually
done), you won't feel the temperature as much as you might expect.
I wouldn't recommend it for people with heart complaints though, it's
quite a shock to the system going from 100C to -20C in very little
time at all. I've saunad at 130C in the past, you'd be surprised what
the body can cope with.
