Olympic medalist Colby Stevenson of Park City takes the crown while Blake Wilson and Piper Kunst both place second at the 2023 King and Queen of Corbet's big mountain skiing contest at Jackson Hole.
Olympic medalist Colby Stevenson crowned king on his first attempt in event that shows he “has a screw loose.”
Crazy? Maybe, but as he watched most of the 25 competitors launch themselves off the cliff while waiting his turn, it was apparent he wasn’t the only one. Alex Hackel, PIper Kunst, Veronica Paulsen and Blake Wilson react after Kunst's run at Kings and Queens of Corbet’s at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Jackson, Wyo., on Feb. 7, 2023.“It’s crazy,” Kunst, 22, agreed. “It’s like mental game playing.”
Veronica Paulsen, the 2020 Queen, didn’t pull back from the double backflip. While she didn’t land it cleanly, she became the first woman to perform a double backflip on Corbet’s Couloir and took home the People’s Choice award. Ben Richards landed his double backflip to win the men’s People’s Choice award.“I think it might be a knight. Or a jester or something?” he said. “I don’t know if it’s prince, but hey, I’ll take that. I’ll take whatever I can get.
