              From her seat at a table in a dimly lit restaurant in Breckenridge, Colorado, a woman unrolls scroll with a handwritten menu beginning with the words: "The Ullr [?] of this Kingdom of Breckenridge..." The menu lists a selection of dishes, including soup du jour (soup of the day), beef tenderloin, king crab legs, and more. Probably a special dinner offer in celebration of Breckenridge's Ullr Dag Winter Festival. The man on her left looks over her shoulder, and the couple across the table listen as she reads the document aloud.

              Larry Raff, wearing sheepskin and a Viking-style helmet with horns, stands with Jon and Betty Jo Ballard in front of the Bergenhof Bar and Restaurant, located at the base of Peak 8 of the Breckenridge Ski Area. In 1963, Breckenridge held its first Ullr Dag (day) Festival, named for Ull, the Norse god of winter and skiing. Raff often held the honorary title of "Ullr King", including the celebration held in 1967.
