Heartbreak for North Bay snowboarder Tyler Nicholson.

He just missed qualifying for the Big Air final in Pyeongchang.

Nicholson finished seventh in the second heat, with a score of 89.25, only 1.25 points back of the sixth place rider.

The top six snowboarders in each heat advance.

Had Nicholson been in heat one, his score would’ve placed him third.

Fellow Canadians Max Parrot, Mark McMorris and Sebastien Toutant advanced to the final.
