Another sticking point from the weekend’s slopestyle was the judging. Many people were surprised about the what the six man panel was looking for in runs. Mark McMorris felt hard done by when he landed a clean run and a triple cork and only finished seventh and it seemed like the judges were rewarding style over spins.

In the words of the eventual winner, Sage Kotsenburg: “Sometimes they’re super down for the stuff and sometimes they’re not. I don’t know, it’s crazy here.” By the end of the competition riders seemed to have developed an idea of what would did well, it remains to be seen if that’ll be the same come the Halfpipe contest.
