Depending on how things are going at Crabbe. I'm going to try to make it to Poley on Saturday afternoon. Let me know if you need a hand with anything.
At Crabbe we are in the same boat for judging. There were complaints about the first Big Air last year, but we got props for the good job on the Slopestyle. Didn't hear anything negative about the last big air either.
Last year we tried to get a snowboard judge and a couple of skier judges. And for the snowboard events, ideally we would go for the one skier judge and two snowboard judges. The reason for someone of the opposite side of sport as a judge I think they would be a good judge of what just plain looked good. They may not know the difference between natural or unnatural but they can sit back as say damn that was stylish. The two skiers judges would be able to judge more technical. Just my 2 cents.
I think it's also important to try and get events skier and snowboarder, even if not neccessarily competing against each other. But it gives events a bigger attendance which looks much more attractive to potential sponsors. More sponsors means more cash to run events, more prizes, more prize money and better exposure for the sport.
