This parade was part of the Ullr festival. According to Wikipedia,

"In Germanic paganism, Ullr appears to have been a major god in prehistoric times, or even an epitheton of the head of the Proto-Germanic pantheon. Ullr is mentioned on the 3rd century Thorsberg chape and in late Icelandic sources but not much other information regarding the god has survived."

What is known is that Ullr was a hunter and skier. Breckenridge revived the old god with a week-long Ullr festival, which includes this parade.
