you guys should have your comp starting around 11, and then after the comp, hold a formal 1/4 pipe jam and announce the winners during the jam, and just give out drinks, or t-shirts or something to people who do cool things in the 1/4 pipe jam. i think that'd be cooler than sitting around inside for an hour, or missing the awards, cause you're out skiing.
What the fuck do you expect? It's like leaving a crackhead in a room full of crack, you know what's gonna happen.
