Episode 532 - Peter Judge Interview


Listen Later

An incredible interview drops today as we speak with a true icon of freestyle skiing, Peter Judge. A Canadian trailblazer in the sport, Judge not only helped lay the foundations for freestyle skiing as we know it today, but also played a pivotal role in shaping some of its greatest athletes – including having a hand in the rise of Dale Begg-Smith. We dive into Peter’s remarkable journey through the sport, from its formative years in the 1970s and 80s through to his influence on the expansion of freestyle events at the Olympic Games in the 2010s. He reflects on his own competitive success, how he believes he would have fared had freestyle skiing been Olympic during his era, and shares fascinating insights into working with Begg-Smith. Along the way, he also recounts his involvement in a famous ski movie and even offers the unique Freestyle Skiing origins of the humble Walkman. It’s a wide-ranging and memorable conversation you won’t want to miss!
