While large gatherings like the iconic Ullr Fest parade, Ullr Bonfire and unofficial world ShotSki record have been postponed until 2021, Breckenridge won’t let their dear friend go a winter without feeling their praise. For over 57 years, the snow-obsessed community of Breckenridge has strapped on Viking helmets and paid tribute to Ullr (rhymes with cooler), the Norse god of snow, in hopes of being rewarded handsomely with an abundance of snowfall. Legend has it, this yearly ritual is the reason Breckenridge is blessed with 360+ inches of annual snowfall (that’s over 30 feet!). Instead, Breckenridge is expanding the celebration with the new Ten Days of ULLR happening December 9 – 19, 2020. Expected to invigorate the winter spirit in everyone, this year’s event will pay homage to Ullr with static open-air art installations throughout town, a town-wide adventure race scavenger hunt sure to test any snow worshiper’s merit, the Breckenridge Distillery virtual ShotSki, a Breck Film winter film series screening, Strava-based fat bike races, Breck Create youth Ullr crafts and more!
Ullr Fest will adhere to all public health and safety regulations required for Colorado. Learn More.
