Olympic Judge Steele Spence has a storied history in the ski industry.  He was part of the second wave of new school skiers and one who had a knack for greasing the burliest of rails.  His urban game was top notch before most people knew that urban skiing was a thing.  When pro skiing wasn’t an option anymore, Steele moved in-house and designed skis and products for 4FRNT.  The life of a desk jockey was not for Steele and he quickly found himself in a new role, as a judge.  Countless events later, Steele is an Olympic judge and with judging comes criticism.  Listen to the podcast to hear Steel address everything around the scoring at the Olympic Games.   STEELE SPENCE SHOW NOTES 2:00:  Just getting back from South Korea 4:00:  Growing up in Aspen 8:30:  Switching to pipe and slope and new school skiing 14:30:   Evo (Use the code TPM10 for 10% off at checkout) and RESQWATER (enter the code resqwatertpm for a 20% discount on a 12 pack) 16:00:  The Rip Curl event, partying and how things were back in the day 20:00:  Working with brands, money, and the X Games 25:00:  Filming, going to work for 4FRNT, and getting into judging 32:00:  10Barrel Brewery and The Summit at Snoqualmie (use the code Powell18 to get pre-season pass prices) 33:30:  All about judging and Olympic Judging:  Women’s slope, Elisabeth Swaney, general judging, ski slope and pipe judging. 70:00:  Inappropriate Questions with Roy Tuscany
