Kings & Queens of Corbet's
Kings & Queens of Corbet’s is a competition that showcases the absolute best in skiing and snowboarding, the awe-inspiring venue that is Corbet’s Couloir and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. In its 6 years, the event has progressed further than we could have imagined. Athletes have continuously blown us away with their runs and this year’s athlete roster includes eight Olympians, X Games winners and Freeride World Tour champions.
We have received over six feet of snow in January and the resort is open wall to wall. Unfortunately, the recent storm also came with a north wind. Given the location of Corbet’s, a north wind scours the couloir even when arriving with snow. We inspected Corbet’s with a team of athletes, Park Crew and Patrol to assess the conditions in the venue. After looking at snow depth, rock coverage and viable features, all parties agreed that the venue presents serious safety concerns for the athletes. For the safety of the athletes and the integrity of the event, we have decided that we cannot responsibly host Kings & Queens of Corbet’s in 2024. While we would do anything in our power to make the event happen, the conditions and forecast have not aligned this year. The event has been postponed to 2025.
