Kings & Queens of Corbet’s 2023
Kings & Queens brings skiers and snowboarders together to celebrate the sports that we all love. From athletes shaping their own starting features and giving course feedback, to dropping in on their own timeline, this athlete judged competition is all about celebrating innovation and our mountain lifestyle.
Returns for its sixth year
The weather window is locked in for February 4-11 and we are primed for another incredible year. Skiers and riders will travel the world to test their grit and showcase their progressive style at the legendary run in hopes of greatness. At the end of the day, just one man and one woman will be crowned the King and Queen of Corbet's.
