    Over winter break, after presents were unwrapped, and people rang in the New Year, a few (and by few I mean 71) selectskiers and snowboarders packed their suitcases, stuffing whatever extra clothes into ski boots and board bags, and set on a journeyleaving the marginal conditions at Buffalo to ride real snow andruns that last longer than a McNugget commercial. On threeseparate flights, the lucky participants in this trip left on FridayJanuary 4 th, the next day being the first possible day to ski. Withmost people up with the sun, looking to catch first chair, it was

    clear that this odd bunch of riders based out of a Western NewYork University meant business. Riding the chairs up, anxious totouch that fresh, untracked powder, it seemed that nothing couldget any better.

    The riding was good, but one could not help fromstopping at the top of a lift, or pausing atop one of Brecks perfectterrain parks to take a gander at the elusive t-bar. Thoughintimidating at first, many took the opportunity to take the t-bar tothe top and ride the back country bowls that Colorado is known

    for. A few years ago, those bowls are all you can ask for whengoing to Breckenridge, but with the addition of the new ImperialChair Lift, the highest lift in North America, you can rise to over 12,800 feet. If the altitude isnt too much for you, take a hike upthe extra two hundred to the peak, and get a view more -

    unbelievable than Britneys interpretation of gthe very peak to the base it takes about a half the mountain and by the end most cant help b

    With a massive mountain encompassitrails, 18 lifts and six terrain parks, its easy totakers started searching for jobs in the Rockyafter they returned while others talked about gexcursion next year.

    When most people think about Ullr Fest out inBreckenridge, Colorado what do you think comes to mind?Mass drinking, funny hats, and crazy floats. Well yes, I am

    pleased to say that all these things are part of the festivitiesof Ullr Fest but it is so much more. Ullr Fest is a week longfestival to celebrate the Norse God of Snow. When they saySNOW the mean foot after foot of fresh pow pow everyday! The annual event contains Ullympics, an Ullr Bonfire,and of course the crazy and insane Ullr Fest Parade thattakes place on Main Street. This year Schussmeisters got afirst hand opportunity to witness the 43 rd year celebration of this so-called festival. None of us knew what we wereabout to see but word on the street was it was going to bethe wildest events/parade we have ever seen. We were alsotold we may not want to bring little kids because some of the floats are a little inappropriate and they werentkidding. As a bunch of us heading down to town to check out what all of the hype was about after a day of riding, we

    began to see the streets filled with people. People lined theroads as well as stood on their balconies screaming andchanting in excitement to catch the sight of the people andtheir floats coming down the streets. Tourists and localsgathered together to party and defiantly drink together. Allof us were amazed and pumped; we have never seen anytype of parade that even comes close to this.

    But the excitement didnt stoheard there was a chili cook-off takinstreet. To enter your own chili into thdollars. Most of us stuck to the eatindollars you received a bracelet, a bo

    black beans or should they say TheWhat are these beans, you may ask. given to your favorite chili. At the enwould come around, and the chili wigiven to then would be proclaimed tthink of chili most people think it hameat, but here there was something were many vegetarian chilis, and I whand they were amazing! Ullr Fest wending to a crazy, exciting, wild triprecommend taking a trip out to Brecmountain, the snow, the town, the bathing they call ULLR FEST!
