Winter Speaker Series #4: Jess Kimura’s The Uninvited

February 15, 2024 @ 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Winter Speaker Series: One of the most influential snowboarders of the past decade, Jess Kimura transcends all boundaries. Known for pushing herself to the limit mentally and physically, she has redefined the perceptions of what women are capable of. She holds more awards and accolades than anyone else in her category, yet her true impact reaches far beyond the sport. An extraordinary dedication to progressing women’s snowboarding led to her commitment to create a better space for those following in her footsteps.

Jess’s self-produced and award-winning all-girls film trilogy, The Uninvited, created a platform for underrepresented athletes, launching multiple careers for girls and women who lacked an opportunity to be noticed by the industry. Her latest passion project, The Uninvited Invitational, brought a historical prize purse and international media attention to a deserving group of up-and-coming female snowboarders. Follow her unique journey as she unapologetically shatters stereotypes with her unwavering determination and ‘go-for-broke’ mentality, discovering what it truly means to take others along for the ride.

Our nonprofit beneficiary for Winter Speaker Series #4 is The Scotty Lapp Foundation. The Scotty Lapp Foundation is dedicated to empowering youth by making ski, snowboard and skate more accessible to underserved communities and assisting athletes in reaching their full potential. #Skiforscotty

Thanks to Jess’s sponsors: Capita Snowboards, Coal Headwear, Monster Energy, Smith, The North Face, Union Binding Company, YETI
