Simply on fire during a breakout 2012 season, Nick was the only rookie and youngest in the Slopestyle field (17) at WX 2012. Didn't bother him -- he netted silver. A gifted and versatile jumper, Goepper is an incredibly consistent competitor who also made the podium at every '11/'12 Dew Tour stop, finishing 2nd overall. Not bad for a kid who grew up skiing at Perfect North Slopes in southern Indiana, which has a vertical drop of 400 feet.
