September 2026 will mark the beginning of our southern hemisphere journey with the
introduction of The Uninvited Boarding Pass Presented by Burton.
Created in partnership with She’ll Be Right, The Uninvited Boarding Pass Presented by
Burton is an official qualifier rail jam that will award one emerging rider a coveted spot at the
2027 Uninvited Invitational in the USA along with $4,000 NZD toward travel expenses.
Hosted by She’ll Be Right during their annual event at Cardrona Alpine Resort on Saturday,
September 26, the qualifier will feature a custom rail setup and judged format inspired by The
Uninvited Invitational itself, providing riders with an authentic preview of the event’s competitive
environment.
Over the past several years, She’ll Be Right has established itself as a vital platform for
women, girls, and non-binary participants within New Zealand’s snowsports community.
Through hands-on opportunities for riders, park builders, photographers, and filmmakers, the
event has helped create meaningful pathways into the industry while fostering community,
creativity, and progression.
The Uninvited Boarding Pass Presented By Burton builds on that foundation by creating a
direct route from grassroots participation to one of snowboarding’s premier events. Designed to
support and spotlight emerging talent while investing directly into the community shaping the
future of Southern Hemisphere snowboarding, the opportunity is reserved for riders who have
not previously competed in The Uninvited Invitational.
Together, The Uninvited, Burton and She’ll Be Right are creating a new pathway for the next
generation of snowboarders, ensuring that talent, regardless of geography, has the opportunity
to be discovered and celebrated on a global stage.
