He finally rolls up to me and says "I really need to tell you something", so I say all confused "what??" He looks me straight in the eye and says "I'm the best skier on this mountain" with a completely straight face.

I really hope he was fucking with me. Ridiculous.

Alright....I exonerate you. The story didnt make sense, but I am glad you werent supporting acting like a prick. I appreciate the good gaper joke, but also get annoyed at asshole locals who are mean for no reason. Carry-on. :)

It was face shots pretty much all over the MN/WI Area today. Got a lil back country in today at a local farm with a serious 40 degree almost 200 ft vert hill just down the road. Road it all the way to the lake!!! We'll be talking about this for 20 years, this weekend was a ton of fun.

(ok i'm the gaper for being at keystone in the first place)

Anyway we get to the spot that the lanes finally merge for the last time and the 3-some in front of us passed by the single's line without picking up a single, because the lift attendants were slow to scan and not even trying to pair singles up. So I say to my friend next to me that people really should be calling for singles when they know they need a single, and the line is crazy long. so this lady in the middle of the 3-some in front of us (red stretch pants, looking like queen of the hill) now past the point of picking up a single, must have overheard me because she starts shouting and waving her hands in the air to the singles line that they need a single. But it's far too late for one to squeeze through, I'm like "no, it's too late now" but she's on a mission. So somehow she convinces the next single to cut the rope, and ski up on the other side of the metal guard rail to where the lift operator stands so he can hop on with them at the last second, but this confuses the lifty, and he's like WTF. Now the kicker, the lady is so intent on picking up that single, that she argues with the lifty as an EMPTY CHAIR passes in front of them. At this point we are just laughing too much to care, although much booing from the rest of the line.

Crazy start to a craptastic keystone day!

Silverado lift lines on a powder day can be pretty bad but it is fun to bombard with snow balls anyone riding up a chair that isn't full. .

The link to the video thisisastickup is talking about is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atIb7ozivKM . It's funny, I had watched the video 10 or 12 times and never saw the drop at the beginning until he just mentioned it. Definitely strange to watch someone break their leg while riding straight through wide open terrain.

A friendly Monday bump for everyone who has broken a bone, and like me, didn't have the benefit of a GoPro to record the sound for perpetuity.

said by me on a lift full of guys.. "its ridiculous how excited I am for 5 inches"

While I didn't "hear" it, it should be noted that on Park City's website under FAQs is this gem" "Where do they store the moguls in the summer time?"

I'm not sure what I enjoyed more... the question itself, or the fact that it's apparently been asked often enough that it warranted a place on the FAQ page

You've got it backwards. Kokanee is good stuff. Molson is watered down fermented seal pee.

ok, question time ...
are you, me, or random guy, more or less of a gaper wearing a gopro in bounds on shit, or having the gopro attatchment on your helmet but without the gopro camera ??? just wondering
saw a guy in an orange jacket with said gopro attatchment on helmet, with cool chick (showing him how its done) at the horse today.
so being the gaper snowboarder I am, I yelled from the lift "I'm such a better skier than you!"
and wot happened at teh end of the day?
I came home and the skier had put a carton of beer in my fridge !!!




I'm such a better beer drinker than you !!!

Everything I know I learnt from Barny Gumble.

Super badass dude.

Are you supposed to have 1 helmet for your GoPro and another for in-bounds?

Idiot.

idiot + beer = WIN !!!

One day I'm gonna go on a mission and spray every mother fucker wearing a helmet cam in bounds. Fucking Teletubbies.

Just don't find yourself on Vail ... you'll see at least several hundred goobers wearing the goober cam on days that don't warrant any goober cam recording. But I'll award you 500 pts for every goober you knock over.

... and the latest incarnation of the ski snob is born.

who gives a fuck if people wear cameras inbound? mind your own skiing. fucking twits.

Helmet cams are narcissistic, but who gives a shit. Do whatever makes you happy we're all out there to get some turns.

for every snob who only wears their cam in the backcountry there are 10 kids in the resort who see a helmet cam and say "this is cool, i'd like to have that!". i'm with them.

Not necessarily. I saw two guys in a lift line over the weekend with GP's facing backwards on their helmets. Wouldn't that be the opposite of narcissistic?

You've got me there. Regardless, *most* of the time they are narcissistic, so I stand by what I said.

but so are clothing, goggles, helmets, stickers, topsheets, first chair, first tracks and that beer aprés.

skiing is a narcissistic sport. the problem is the snobbery associated with narcissism.

Agreed skiing is a narcissistic sport, however I think you missed my point entirely. My point was who gives a shit if you wear a cam or not, just get out and ski, board, or whatever you do and have some fun. I may think the cams are silly but that's just one guys opinion and if that 'silly' cam makes your day better because you push your skills harder to capture something on film then wear the thing and enjoy your day.

If I'm misreading you then disregard above and let's get on with the gaper quotes.
