Two weeks ago, some of the brightest stars in freeride skiing and snowboarding descended on Jackson Hole for the Kings & Queens of Corbets competition. And while the King and Queen have been crowned, the People’s Choice has yet to be awarded. You have until March 3 to vote on the Jackson Hole Kings & Queens webpage. Once you’ve voted, you’ll be entered into a Mammut raffle with some rad ski gear prizes.
Check out these highlight videos for a refresh (or to catch up) on the athletes who sent it the biggest this year. Then cast your vote for the one who you think should win the title of People’s Choice.
The judges get to choose who goes to the podium and who gets the crown. But this one is in your hands.
Crowns, Podiums, and Purses: Winning Athletes From 2025
On the men’s side of things, Tim McChesney, Alex Hackel, and Tristen Lily took first, second, and third on the ski podium. On the snowboard podium, Yuki Kadono, Jed Sky, and Spencer Whiting took first, second, and third places, respectively.
For women, skiers Ana Eyssimont, Claire McPherson, and Piper Knust (2022 Queen of Corbet’s) took first, second, and third, respectively. Sarka Pancochova, Madison Blackley, and Erika Vikander held down first, second, and third on the snowboard podium.
And the 2025 King and Queen? McChesney and Eyssimont claimed the crowns this year. McChesney’s double 10s and wildly exciting run, and Eyssimont’s huge air into the couloir and clean backflip off of a feature lower down, won the judges’ hearts.
For the first time this year, there was a prize purse for winners. All first-place winners got $5,000; second place was awarded $3,000; third received $2,000.
Vote for the People’s Choice, Win Cool Gear
The competition may be over, but one award remains to be bestowed. From now until March 3, you can cast your vote for the coveted People’s Choice Award. Watch the highlight videos above, or check out this 26-minute recap with the athletes’ full runs. Then, when you’ve picked your favorite, fill out this form to cast your vote before March 3.
Not only will you help Jackson Hole determine who this last award goes to, but you will also be entered into a Mammut raffle. First-place raffle winners get a Mammut GORE-TEX Free Ride Kit with an Eiger Free Hooded Jacket, Pants, and also a Nirvana 18L Pack. Second place gets a Free 22 Airbag avalanche pack with an extra canister. Third place wins a Barryvox 2 Tour 280 Package.
Jackson Hole is trying to sweeten the deal to get as many votes for the People’s Choice Award as possible. So don’t miss your chance to cast yours.
