Back for another year, the preeminent women’s contest started from the brain of Jess Kimura is heading to Park City this week. Gaining traction year over year, and even having an open qualifier across the pond earlier this winter, some of the best in the world will be battling it out this weekend for cash prizes and the respect of their peers. If you don’t know about the film series that has now expanded into a contest run, here is the breakdown from their most recent press release:
The Uninvited was spearheaded in 2017 by Jess Kimura, one of the most influential snowboarders of the past decade. After recognizing an abundance of talent without a proper platform to showcase it on, she self-produced an award-winning film trilogy that challenged the gender disparity in the action sports industry. The Uninvited series launched multiple careers for girls, women, and non-binary riders who needed a place to shine.
Harnessing the same energy and intentions that fueled those films, we have channeled them into a competition series where these riders aren’t just a subcategory; they are the main event. By providing the platform and tools needed for them to thrive, our goal is to empower these athletes to rise above expectations and rewrite the narrative for generations to come. The Uninvited Invitational serves as a platform to showcase and enable the highest level of progression in a street-oriented environment.
