I've never seen slopestyle before so I can't comment on the consistency of the judging specifically. But from listening to the commentators it sounded like the judges at the Olympics are not the same as the ones at the x-games and may have been judging differently (looking for different things). This certainly highlights the potential problems with subjective judging - but most sports have only one judging group who are all trained the same - seems rather ridiculous to have a new group of judges for the Olympics when the athletes have had the same group of judges for the rest of their competitions.
I think this just highlights the issues of a new sport - which all new events have (in one way or another).
