it is hard to find qualified freestyle skiing judges because it is a relatively new sport. when i first started to ski, there were no parks of any sort. now you cant go to a mountain without finding one. i remember when skiers werent even allowed to be in the parks too, creating another setback in freestyle snowsports. many of the people who have the knowledge of judging correctly in these comps are still able to be competing in them as well. so i dont think that we will get the high caliber judges that know snowboarding AND skiing for a few years.
