Yesterday, Jackson Gap Mountain Resort made the powerful determination to cancel Kings & Queens of Corbet’s 2024.
Resulting from a weak snowpack and security circumstances, the resort determined to drag the plug. With practically sufficient snow to open, it’s dangerous timing for one in every of our favourite occasions.

As athletes, all of us need to exhibit our greatest snowboarding, and proper now the circumstances should not protected sufficient for us to placed on the present we often do. I’ve skilled all 12 months for this, and now I’ve one other 12 months to maintain coaching and dreaming about my run.”
Whereas the snowboarding neighborhood is gloomy to overlook one in every of our favourite hucking occasions, the security of athletes ought to at all times reign supreme. Hats off to Jackson for making a tough however commendable determination. Generally circumstances don’t line up, and there’s not a lot we are able to do to alter it.
