    SnowsBest It Takes a Village: Zoe Jaboor Olympic and FIS WC judge

    How exactly do you judge moguls, dual moguls and aerials at the Winter Olympics? We sit down with Zoe Jaboor, triple Winter Olympic judge and Australia’s official for Milano Cortina 2026, to decode the art (and stress!) of scoring some of the fastest (and bumpiest) skiing on the circuit. Zoe dishes on what separates a winning run from a wobbly one, why remote judging is a minefield, and why pulling up video replays mid-event is a big no-no.
