"Jackson Hole Mountain Resort has revealed the invited athlete roster for the eighth edition of Kings & Queens of Corbet's, its annual big-mountain ski and snowboard showcase set to return this winter. The competition window runs February 7-14, with the exact event day selected based on weather and snow conditions. With the summit already reporting more than 200 inches of snowfall this season and additional storms in the forecast,"
"The 2026 lineup blends proven winners with emerging talent from across the freeride, freestyle, and competitive big-mountain worlds. Returning athletes include established standouts such as Alex Hackel and reigning Queen Ana Eyssimont, joined by rising skiers Kelly Hilleke and Jackson Hole local Wyatt Gentry. On the snowboard side, the field features experienced freeriders Sarka Pancochova and Ulrik Badertscher, alongside first-time invitees Ellie Weiler and Mason Lemery, adding fresh energy and perspective to the event."
"Kings & Queens of Corbet's will again offer $50,000 in total prize money, split evenly across men's and women's ski and snowboard divisions. Athletes are judged by their peers, maintaining the event's athlete-driven format. Each division will award: While podiums are discipline-specific, the event ultimately crowns one King and one Queen of Corbet's. The top-scoring male and female athlete overall-regardless of whether they ski or snowboard-will each earn an additional $5,000 bonus and the event's signature titles."
