Each year at Kimberley Alpine Resort we have an annual celebration, a ski burning celebration, during which we hope to appease the Norse Mythological ‘God of Winter’, Ullr. It looks like our celebration last year was heard, as the snow has already arrived at the resort!
Ullr fun fact; he is believed to be the handsome stepson of Thor, the God of Thunder.
Keep ‘praying’ to Ullr for more snow- our opening date is scheduled for December 12th. Stay tuned to our Events Calendar for more information and for the announcement of the 2016 Ullr Ski Burning Ceremony.
