Caught this gem on the facebook page of my home resort in ontario
Someone had their skis stolen and this was the answer.
If u recorded the pin on the skis u have a better chance of finding them.
They put tracking chips in ur snowboard and skis so if u got caught in a acalanche they can find u.
So what im saying is if u know it thwy can track down ur skiis.
So straightlining on snowlerblades is super sketchy. If you're not on edge they wobble. 50 on snowlerblades has got to be terrifying. That guy is a badass.
You didn't know that? Dude - that's all that is necessary to get in to the Dive or the West. Just let patrol know your skis have the chips in them and you're good to go! :rolleyes2Quote:

Plenty of people here have a chip on their shoulder.Quote:

I couldn't and tell him, but we crest a rise and I see some other guy chatting on his cell, so I yell down:
"Hey your buddy's waiting for you, and he seems a little nervous?" (he did).
Then the lift stops, so I get to keep watching.
The chat-bot waves to me and keeps talking. Then he hangs up, and makes another call, and leaves a VM. Then he takes off his skis and walks down the hill, not sure why. Then the lift started and I was gone.
A chip off the old block, as it were. *rimshot*Quote:

Three days in ICU, some internal injuries, but he'll be fine. That chair has a sissy bar, but I couldn't tell if it was down. He slipped when he tried to bean his pal with a snowball. No word on if he hit him.
Lessoned learned. Don't fuck around moving machinery.
Forgot to post this a few weeks ago. When the tetons got 50" of snow we kept seeing this guy skiing targhee on snowblades. He kept skiing up to the lifties and exclaiming "it's really hard to not get stuck" then he asked for directions how to get from sac over to DC. After 5 attempts he complained to that their directions of "stay right and follow the signs that say base area" were wrong
"GO PRO or GO HOME"
This isn't exactly gaperish but I had to tell the story. Maybe it should be in the Mom Gaper Thread.
Had a surreal experience night skiing last night. It had been Ladies' Day at our local bump, I assumed the event would be over by the time I got there. Oh no. There was a high population of impaired cougars partying hardy and boogying in the lodge, all decked out in 60s theme outfits. Lots of hippies, mods, flower children and, for some reason, disco outfits. The funniest thing was seeing the 12 year old park rats staring in the window trying to figure out what was going on. I, of course, was not staring in the window. Well, maybe looking a bit. What's a happily married guy to do but go skiing?
The best moment was when I was on the upper level deck of the lodge, getting organized to leave. Four very impaired women in costumes and wigs, one looking strangely very hot in a gold lamé skin tight outfit, were on the lower deck smoking a spliff. The DJ was playing Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" and there was a lot of singing along from the ladies.
The four smokers did not seem to be aware of me checking them out or the 13 year old boy standing about 8 feet away from them, gazing through the window, looking a little dazed. Maybe his mom was inside dancing up a storm.
So, just then the chorus comes around and they sing, in drunken stoned harmony, very loudly, a somewhat altered line to the refrain:
Don't stop... believing,
Don't stop... FUCKING MY BUM...
Then they realized that they had an audience.
I stopped in my tracks and watched. The kid looked very awkward and uncomfortable. The stoners tried to act like nothing was wrong. It was very entertaining.
Should have taken pics but that would have been a bit creepy.
Overhead on Super Gauge at Mary Jane:
Gaper Girl: I want to do some tree skiing.
Gaper Boy: Yeah, but we've been here an hour. There's isn't any good tree skiing here.
Gaper Girl: OK, let's go back to the Winter Park side.
Gaper Boy: Yeah, how do you think they make all these moguls anyway?
HA!! I ski there a lot and have heard some dumb things but I've never heard "there isn't any good tree skiing here..."Quote:
