there was debate over separate judges for olympic skiing and snowboarding, but who was on the final judges panel for skiing? google lists the snowboard judges, are they the same for skiing? how about for the girls?

That was for snowboarding. They had different judges for skiing. I know Mike Atkinson was one, but beyond that they were all foreigners who I didn't recognize.

That would be Phoebe Mills who also won a medal when she was younger...she also knows more about freestyle riding than nearly anyone else out there. Please look up her creds...she rocks it. She also runs Tahoe Woodward, was the aerial coach for the US Team for quite a few years and has a law degree as well...

Please do not be so ignorant...

Josh Loubeck was the head judge, go watch Degenerates or 13, OG for sure, and a sick skier.

I guess they didn't allow hand drags on landings either, that doesn't make any sense, skiers should get extra points for shity landings.

loubeck is pretty legit, but an oldschool skier.

pheobe mills is a gymnast, and is super old, ruins the vibe at woodward copper, tahoe kills it in comparison

who else? seems like the judges were outdated altogether.

Atkinson and Loubeck were two of the first freeskiing pros in the '90s. Raf Regazzoni is an Inspired head from Europe who's an old friend of Mik Deschenaux. I don't know the other two.
