The first-ever Uninvited Invitational went down April 13–15, 2023, at Boreal Mountain / Woodward Tahoe, and quickly cemented itself as one of the most anticipated events of the year. As the largest women’s-specific snowboard contest to date, it brought together 65 of the most progressive riders from around the world to compete for their share of an unprecedented $40,000 prize purse.

The course, custom built with care and creative vision by Ben Bilocq and crew, gave riders two full days to warm up, dial in their lines, and push the limits. After two sessions of absolute mayhem, 40 standouts advanced to Saturday’s finals, where the energy, crowd, and riding levels were all off the charts.

From tech rails to heavy drops and everything in between, the riding didn’t let up, and neither did the crowd. By the end of the day, the judges were faced with an almost impossible decision.
