This spring, in September 2026, The Uninvited will mark the beginning of their 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 our New Zealand 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.
She’ll Be Right will still be creating opportunities for photographers, videographers, artists, and riders before the Saturday qualifier rail jam, so please stay tune their socials as they make announcements over the coming week.
