Just got back from Breckenridge ski resort where for one week, the entire town turned into a Norwegian mardi gras. I’m talking about Ullr Fest – the annual festival where people sport their best Viking horns and celebrate all in the name of Ullr, the Norse god of snow.

Apparently, ski towns across the country host these huge festivals to either praise Ullr for a bitchin’ snow year… or cheer him up of he’s slacking on the pow. Either way, it seems like a solid reason to party.
