I'm not going to sit here and justify any of our decisions as judges.  We stand by our decisions and all of us agreed it was the right call at the time, and STILL say it was the right call.  I had a team member of yours (not to name names) tell me you were being ridiculous about it (actually it was more 'Nick was crying in the woods and being ridiculous about the whole thing'), and I tend to agree with them (although I don't think you were actually crying in the woods, or crying at all).
    You definitely killed it all day long man, no disrespect to you as a skier at all, but you're gonna learn as you get older that sometimes not everything works out as you want it to.  If you keep striving on things when they don't go perfectly your way and whining about them constantly, you're going to unhappy A LOT.  It reflects quite badly on your character when you do such things and people start to think of you as a 'whiny sore loser'.  I'm sorry you felt cheated enough to suggest that I and the rest of our crew are out of touch with skiing, blind, and bad at judging (none of which are true at all in fact), but I know we all stand by the judging 100%.
    To everyone else saying the comp was well put together and showing us love, it means a lot to us, believe me, we all feel the same.  It was the first comp ANY of us had ever put on so to have the first one go so well was amazing, and I know it was due to a lot of the competitors having a great time and just skiing for what it really should be, FUN.  Next year is gonna be a good time as well, hopefully it'll be a lot bigger as well.
