Czech Republic / Innsbruck, Austria | Active: 2020-present public record | Focus: street skiing, knuckle huck, park, women-led ski films | Current: Surface Skis-supported skier
The Aspen knuckle sat under January lights, its rollover cut blue by the final traces of evening and scarred by every rider before her. Tereza Korábová came in with speed, not panic, then sent a backflip from a feature most skiers treat as a trick entrance rather than a jump. Women’s Ski Knuckle Huck at X Games Aspen 2025 suited her because it was not a standard slopestyle contest. The event rewarded originality, body position, difficulty, trajectory, and style. Korábová left with silver behind Rell Harwood and ahead of Anni Kärävä, turning a Czech street-ski profile into a full X Games medal story.
FIS lists Tereza Korabova as a Czech freestyle skier with FIS Code 2537480, born on July 11, 1998, and currently active. That official page gives the competition identity, but the larger story is not a classic federation rise through World Cups and Olympic selection. Korábová’s profile grew through video, street skiing, women-led film projects, and a style that fits rail jams and knuckle huck more naturally than big-air score sheets. X Games later described her as a popular film skier in Europe and noted that she graduated from Charles University in the Czech Republic in 2021 before living in Innsbruck, Austria.
Level 1 SuperUnknown XIX gave Korábová one of her first major international markers. The 2022 finals took place at Mammoth Mountain, California, and Level 1’s winners archive lists Tereza Korábová and Mathieu Dufresne as the women’s and men’s winners. That result matters because SuperUnknown is built for skiers whose value is visible in clips, not only rankings. Riders submit video parts, then handle a full finals week with park sessions, filming pressure, peer judgment, and feature creativity. Korábová’s win placed her inside a long lineage of skiers who used SuperUnknown as a career accelerator rather than a normal contest trophy.
Dew Tour 2023 at Copper Mountain gave her another public step. Freeride.cz reported that Korábová competed in women’s streetstyle, a rail-focused format without the jump-line structure of normal slopestyle. Her heat included Skye Clarke, Drew Hooker, and Brooke Potter. She advanced after scoring 81.00 on her final run, then faced Lisa Zimmermann in the knockout round. The report noted a 270 on the first jib and a 450 out of the final tube, before Zimmermann stopped her run toward the final. The result was not a medal, but it showed that her street skills could travel into invited-event pressure on a North American course.
Relentless gave Korábová a clearer creative statement in 2023. Downdays described the project as an urban and backcountry movie by Tereza Korábová and friends, featuring Laura Wallner, Vilma Warpenius, and Hannah Langes. The film came after injury and difficult snow conditions, which makes the title feel less like branding and more like a description of the process. Street skiing often hides the worst parts of production: dry winters, closed spots, hard landings, short run-ins, broken speed, and days where the clip never arrives. Korábová’s project kept the focus on women filming their own terrain rather than waiting for a larger production to make space.
Korábová’s name also runs through Bucket Clips, the FLINTA and female ski movie platform created around Rosina Friedel and a global network of skiers. X Games lists Bucket Clips I & II among the projects she has filmed for, while iF3 describes Bucket Clips 3 as a short film designed to elevate often-overlooked talents outside the competitive sphere. That context matters because Korábová’s importance is not only personal. She belongs to a growing women’s street and park network that includes riders from Europe, North America, and beyond, using shared footage to build visibility without relying on standard contest invitations.
Surface Skis lists Tereza Korábová on its team, and X Games identifies Surface as her ski sponsor. The fit is logical. Surface’s current image leans toward park, street, playful skis, team films, and a community-driven identity rather than a race-style equipment story. For Korábová, that support connects to the terrain she actually skis: rails, urban features, knuckles, park takeoffs, wall contacts, nosebutters, handdrags, and soft-snow landings. A skier in her lane needs equipment that can survive repeated street impact, slide rails cleanly, hold up through travel, and still feel light enough for technical movement.
The X Games arc came quickly. Freeride.cz reported that Korábová was invited to Aspen 2024 for the first women’s Ski Knuckle Huck event, and X Games later described her as the first woman skier from the Czech Republic to compete in a trick discipline there. She finished fifth in 2024. One year later, Freeskier reported that she climbed to silver in Women’s Ski Knuckle Huck at Aspen 2025. Newschoolers’ event recap described her regular forward nosebutter 3, clean handdrag 3, and a backflip off the knuckle. The medal was important because it rewarded exactly the qualities that had built her film profile: creativity, risk, awkward-feature control, and calm execution.
Korábová’s skiing should be read through movement rather than rotation count alone. Her public trick references point toward nosebutter 3s, handdrag 3s, 270s, 450 outs, rails, wall-adjacent tricks, and a willingness to use the knuckle as a full feature instead of a setup zone. That style fits women’s street skiing more than traditional big-air scoring. She often looks best when the feature is imperfect: short urban snow, an unusual transition, a rail line that needs body control before force, or a knuckle where the takeoff happens before the viewer expects it. Her strongest clips rely on timing, not noise.
X Games notes that Korábová currently lives in Innsbruck, Austria, which gives her a practical European base for the current stage of her career. From there, rail trips, Alpine park sessions, film projects, glacier laps, and event travel are all easier than from a smaller Czech setup alone. Innsbruck also places her close to a dense network of women’s ski projects, Surface team connections, Austrian riders such as Laura Wallner, and European street crews. That location fits the pattern of her work: not one home resort dominating the story, but a rotating map of clips, friends, snow windows, and invited formats.
Korábová earns a 4/5 importance rating because her record now includes X Games silver, X Games 2024 and 2025 Knuckle Huck appearances, a SuperUnknown XIX title, Dew Tour streetstyle visibility, Surface support, and a growing filmography through Relentless, Bucket Clips, Slav&Friends, and related women-led projects. A 5/5 would overstate the résumé because she does not have an Olympic medal, World Cup podium run, or multiple X Games medals across disciplines. Her value is sharper than that. She has made Czech women’s street skiing visible on the highest style-focused stage in freeskiing, while keeping her identity rooted in film, rails, friends, and creative features.
