We know how to pick ‘em

Henry Broeren, winner of Ski Barn’s Ullr Fest back in December, just took first at the Purgatory Slope Style.  We knew you were going on to bigger and better things, Henry.  Keep it up!

Henry Broeren, Winner of Ullr Fest '09

AWW YEAH. DID YOU SEE THAT?

Thanks again to Red Bull and Serious Texas Barbeque

Half an hour into our inagural Ullr Fest, just as our first sacrifices to the snow god were turning to glowing embers, the snowflakes began to fall. I think we’re gonna to take credit for that.  I mean, that’s what Ullr Fest is all about, right?  Waking up and having to shovel snow to find the recyclable goods?

When I say ‘us’, I don’t just mean Jake, Jeff, Kevin, Eric, and all the Ski Barn boys who shoveled snow for three days.  I mean all the locals who showed up to throw down on our inadequately covered asphalt.  I mean the guys who spent hours lovingly crafting their Ullr sacrifices, which now sit smoldering in the bottom of our fire pit.  I’m talking about about the dedicated spectators who partook in enough free beer and Red Bull to party in the cold and stand in for our nonexistent crash fence.

Congrats to Henry Broeren, winner of the Junkyard Jib Jam and a Ski Barn sponsorship.  We’re looking forward to seeing what else you’ve got up your sleeve this season.

Photos are on the way.  In the meantime, get out there, enjoy the swag (if you caught some), and pat your self on the back for making it snow.  We’ll be doing it again next year, and probably going even bigger.
