It's TIME for the ninth edition of Kings and Queens of Corbet's, which has been locked in for this Friday, February 13. Year after year, K&Q has provided some of our favorite moments each season, and with over a foot of snow falling in the Tetons in the last 24 hours, it looks like this year will be no different.
Snow totals were lacking in Jackson Hole over the previous weeks, but conditions look far better now. The storm is expected to clear on Friday, we're talking bluebird skis, fresh snow for sending and a beautifully manicured course. From the top down, skiers start at the mighty entrance to Corbet's (consisting of the Nose, Goat Path, and West Wall), then pick their way through a kicker near the iconic Combs Cave, natural features and a big wedge before arriving at the money booter at the bottom.
Athletes can take multiple runs if desired, all in hopes of pleasing their peers to win the athlete-judged competition. First place in each category (men's and women's ski and snowboard) will take home $5,000, with second place grabbing $3,000 and third getting $2,000. Plus, the overall King and Queen will each receive an additional $5,000. But more importantly... bragging rights are on the line as we all know.
Tune into the livestream right here at 9:30 AM on February 13. Check below for our full Kings and Queens of Corbet's preview, competition details and an updated rider start list. We'll see you in Corbet's!
