ULLR Fest 2026

Saturday, December 05 2026
6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Join us as we honor ULLR, the Norse God of Snow, and summon a season full of powder! Gather around the roaring bonfire for the time-honored ski and snowboard sacrificial burning — bring your old gear and toss it into the flames as we cheer for epic winter adventures.

Plus, warm up with our favorite Viking pastime, mulled wine. Bring your own cup or grab one of our custom Alyeska-branded horn cups, and raise a hearty toast to ULLR.

BACK IN 2025: Best Fest Dress Contest! Don your Viking hats, furs, cloaks, and jewels for a chance to win a 2026/27 ALYESKA SEASON PASS. Outfits must feature at least three pieces of flair to compete. No weapons allowed (real or imaginary…we’re looking at you, trolls and Vikings!).

This event is free to the public and all ages are welcome. The show at the Sitzmark kicks off at 9:00 PM; show is for 21+ only and requires a ticket for entry. Grab your tickets for High Step Society here!

While on the slopes, you will see people using alpine skis, telemark skis, snowboards, and other snow play equipment such as snow skates, snow bikes and adaptive ski gear. You will see skiers of all levels – from beginners enjoying their first day on the slopes to expert skiers with years of experience. It is always your responsibility, regardless of the equipment used or the level of skier that you are, to be courteous to others and to be aware that skiing safely makes the ski slopes safer for all of us.

Alyeska is a large mountain with difficult and dangerous terrain and skiing and riding are dangerous sports.  We do our best to inform guests of the possible hazards associated with snow sports. We do our best to mark hazards and dangerous terrain appropriately. We also actively open and close certain areas of the mountain often due to Snow Safety considerations, ski conditions, or darkness

Our beginner ski zones and high skier traffic areas are important to us and we refer to these areas as “Slow” zones. We label them as such on our trail maps and with signs and banners as you ski through each of these areas. We encourage guests to ‘Go with the Flow’ in these areas, ski only as fast as the skier next to you. Our least favorite part of the job is to be the police on the mountain. We do our best to keep an eye on people skiing around to ensure everyone is skiing safely and within their limits.

Alyeska has set Enforcement Guidelines based on the Skier Responsibility Code and Mountain Safety Concerns for behavior on the mountain. Alyeska operates under a lease through the Department of Natural Resources which requires the resort to enforce violations of state statute. Violations of the Alaska skier safety act or other state laws can be referred to DNR and may lead to a citation. In addition to loss of lift privileges and fines we also require all ‘violators’ to take the Mountain Education Test, a tool used to help educate.
