I originally thought it would be done for a pro to win, but for Grete to donate all of her $25,000 to charity is fucking amazing. Seriously cool move. I liked her before, but after this, her stock is definitely up. Way to go Grete!
I think it's mighty nice of Grete to give the money to charities, and I think it's mighty nice of event sponsors to cough up the cash, HOWEVER this whole "Consest" was a fixed sham.
1st of all, they totally misled the voting public by making certain rules up 'apparent' as they went along. For crap's sake, Grete got only 1.9% of the vote on-line....some amateurs got over 10%. This award was simply geared towards getting the best all-round PRO to win $25k...that's it. AM's never stood a chance...and it shouldn't have been geared that way. Basically, this was an on-hill ski competition. Where's the suspense in a PRO winning? No SH*T!
Lamest shit ever. We already knew Grete kills it, and the am category was a total "how many friends and relatives do you have that will vote for you every day" contest
oh i said she deserved it cause she put the money to good use, everyone would love to see an unknown girl but i dont think this is a good 'competition' for unknowns
