The Grand Colorado on Peak 8
For a Night, Week or Lifetime.
Meet Ullr
In the fall of 2018, CEO and Co-Owner of Breckenridge Grand Vacations, Mike Dudick and his wife Anna Dudick with the help of Breck Create’s Arts Council cast an international call for sculptors who wanted to tackle the personification of Breckenridge’s Ullr character whose location would complete the base of the Peak 8 ski area in the plaza where the Grand Colorado on Peak 8 now sits. With over 174 submissions, three finalists were selected and invited out to participate in the Ullr Fest celebration Breckenridge has become known for. Locals know and it is widely believed that honoring Ullr, the Norse God of Snow, and paying homage to him may, can and will bring about blessings of snow upon our ski town. See for yourself!
