Mythology meets modern tradition as attendees gather to pay respects to Ullr, the Norse god of winter, in anticipation of another great season of skiing and snowboarding.

The festivities start on December 6, 2024 with live music with Kate & Jules at 6pm, with a bonfire and solo stoves burning all night. This is a family-friendly all ages event.

There is no cover charge, and parking is free. The beer shack will be open on the back deck for spectators, along with the bar inside.

There has been an addition to this year's event. Get ready to conquer the slopes at Tussey Mountain’s King and Queen of the Mountain race, where runners battle it out on a one-mile dash (UNDER THE LIGHTS!) up and down the ski slopes for a chance to be crowned royalty and win coveted season passes!

This thrilling uphill and downhill challenge is part of Ullr Fest, our celebration of all things winter, with extra prizes awarded for the best costumes. Whether you dress as a Nordic noble, a mystical mountain creature, or a daring jester, you’ll have a chance to win day passes and exclusive perks. Lace up, layer up, and bring your best game (and costume!) for an unforgettable race that kicks off Ullr Fest in legendary style!
