Samantha Brown at the Ullr Parade '09
In Norse mythology Ullr (pronounced Oool-er) was the Winter God. He was the son of Sif and the stepson of Thor, the “God of Thunder.” Ullr loved the cold, and delighted in traveling over the country on his skis or skates. He also delighted in the chase, and pursued his game through the Northern Forests.
So, this time of year we hail Ullr hoping he will bring us a little snow (okay A LOT of snow). By what the forecasters are saying, it looks as if Ullr will be making his presence this week. And to celebrate Ullr, Breckenridge is hosting several events all week and the most fun one of all is the Parade. If you want to see some crazy outfits and outlandish floats, then you need to be in Breckenrdige on Thursday, January 13th! If you can’t get up on Thursday than you can still enjoy Ullr’s gifts this weekend.
