Blackcomb is looking for the ultimate Ullr girl – skier
or rider, any discipline – big mountain, park & pipe...you
name it. From April 13 to 18 some of the best female skiers & riders
will be in Whistler to compete for the Ullr Girl crown
and a $25,000 grand prize.
Check out profiles of the 16 finalists
on Ifullrwasagirl.com. Vote for the contestant who you
think should be Ullr Girl. Voting ends at 5pm on April
18, 2007.
16 finalists will
compete in the Stompede at the TELUS World Ski & Snowboard
Festival.
April 13 to 15
On April
16, each of the finalists will demonstrate their love
for the mountains in a creative way. Based on the arts
events during the TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival (music, photography, film,
literature, drama or art) each girl will give a 5 minute
presentation.
We have picked one of the sickest
spots on Whistler Blackcomb for these girls to show us
what they can do. The skiers and snowboarders will compete
together but will be scored separately. Takes place on
April 18.
The $25,000 and Ullr Girl Crown will be awarded to the Open category finalist
with the most points after all four competitions. The Amateur Ullr Girl
prize will be awarded to the Amateur category finalist with the most points
after all four competitions. Each component is weighted equally.
ULLR - (OOOO-LAR) IN OLD SCANDINAVIAN MYTH, ULLR (“GLORY”)
WAS THE GOD OF JUSTICE AND DUELING, BUT WAS MOST WELL KNOWN FOR HIS BEAUTY
AND MASTERY OF SKIING. LEGEND HAS IT, THAT AS THE GOD OF ALL THINGS RIDDEN
ON SNOW, ULLR WAS NOT ONLY A KICK ASS RIDER, BUT HAD THE PASSION, CONFIDENCE
AND ATTITUDE BEFITTING A NORSE GOD.
