Ull, the son of Sif and her stepson of Thor:
Ull - Germanic God
Ull, son of Sif and her stepson of Thor, is the god of hunting, winter, and an exceptional archer and skier, of hand-to-hand combat, and of the willow tree.
His name means “Glory,” reflecting his extraordinary combat and hunting skills. Known as a just and honourable deity, he was often called upon to settle disputes.
He was also the patron of warriors who sought his blessing before battle.
His attributes included a bow and skis, allowing him to move with unmatched speed.
Ull resided in Ydalir, the “Valley of Yew Trees,” where the finest bows were crafted from the sacred wood.
During times of crisis, he temporarily took over the rule of Asgard when Odin was exiled.
As the god of winter and survival in harsh conditions, Ull symbolises resilience, precision, and determination – qualities essential for enduring the unforgiving northern climate.
He is celebrated in modern times as the god of skiing. His name is used as a name for ski lodges like the House of Ullr at Thredbo, New South Wales.

Ull, in Norse mythology, a god associated with skis and the bow, according to the Icelandic poet and historian Snorri Sturluson in his Prose Edda:
Ull is said there to be the handsome son of Sif and the stepson of her husband Thor. Ull possessed warrior-like attributes and was called upon for aid in individual combat. He resided at Ydalir (Yew Dales).
Although not much has been recorded about Ull, he was a very prominent deity in the Norse pantheon at one time because, according to one tradition, the god Odin offered Ull’s favours as a reward to the one who would aid him.
In addition, Ull’s name appears as part of many Swedish and Norwegian place-names.
In the chronicles of the Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus, "Ollerus" is the equivalent of "Ull".
