The Gaper Spirit Animal

Behold! It speaks!

I also heard the word "Troll", or "Patrol" (please GSA, PLEASE let it be patrol)

I noted the ski pole probe test, and a ski cut as he dropped in from the cat track. He also dropped in first, before his crew, potentially placing Himself in the path of the white death while his crew waited safely above. He correctly deemed the moguls of Rabbit Tracks to be safe for him and his followers. This, along with the way he owned that bootpack, the nonchalant way he carried his skis in one hand, his cautious yet confident slope stability assesment; clearly mags in AK can expect him in the spring.

I must say that I expected this to be a weekend only sighting. Is the GSA on vacation? What does this say about the possibility of future sightings here, or elsewhere?
The mind reels....

Holy shit ........ I've been following this thread and have always been a believer , but i made it :05 seconds into the video saw GSA skating in the distance , started laughing out loud and said out loud "THIS IS FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE " while laughing at the same time ....
Good , no ,no ..... GREAT WORK disciples !

Now back to viewing this holy documentation of the hallowed GSA ....

Brother Cumicon braved great danger. Risking the possibility of making eye contact with the blessed one. To do so would surely mean the end of mere mortals such as ourselves. Notice as pack animals fled from his presence, cowed in the presence of such greatness.


I believe.

One day, this thread will be preserved as an archive of skiing history. Amazing.

After rappelling downstairs from the bannister and anchoring into the leg of my desk, I'm filled with joy as I witness the power of transformation of the GSA. A singular thread that transcends post counts, that transcends time (seriously). Other threads being mere mortal mediocrity after basking in the divinity of this thread (unless adorned with powder, nakedness, maybe a slackline). The GSA has done the impossible... cast upon us serenity. Glory to Cumicon. Glory to the all skiing, all snowing GSA.

All hail Cumicon, first among the unworthy. Thou was fortunate to have not incurred the wrath of GSA for having shown yourself in his presence on your board. Thou art both stealthy and brave.

The Spirit overwhelms me!

Many prayers to Cumicon and Clownshoe , two of the apostles .

I have finished viewing this documentation of GSA ...........I'm amazed .....

Notice at 11:07 GSA is not phased , nor does he notice the racing avalanche rescue dog and one of Clownshoe the Apostles brothers speeding by him ........ He just calmly adjusts his go-pro's , presses the record buttons , and prepares to drop in ........

Cumicon , your tracking abilities are exceptional .

After seeing this thread and seeing the GSA for myself, and after drinking copious amounts of Australian rum while soaking in a hot tub...

...I was inspired by Him and had to share with all here....

P.S. I am apparently not quite worthy yet to post attachments, but I feel so strongly I am pasting the link here so I can share my conversion experience.

This is truly an era of Enlightenment for us all.

Great point.
It is like when the Nazi scientists in the Indiana Jones movies try to touch something that is beyond what their feeble minds can understand that has powers that they cannot comprehend yet Indy & Cumicon have wisdom not to trifle with these things. Also thank you Cumicon for adjusting the white balance on your camera as it must have been blindingly bright when the GSA "dropped in"

My life changed today as I was blessed to bear witness to His greatness not once but TWICE on Whistler mountain, not far from the hallowed ground of Rabbit Tracks.

As I was nearing the top of Harmony chair, shortly after the skies parted at His wish to reveal the sun, I was yet blinded by the sight of an orange climbing harness. I fumbled in an attempt to retrieve my phone to take a picture, almost dropping it in the snow, and when I looked back up, He was already pushing off for a descent of the gnar of Little Whistler.

My heart raced with the realization of the greatness I had just seen. Not an hour later, I caught another glimpse of the GSA, swiftly battling the crud of the Harmony liftline trees, content to leave fresh lines elsewhere in the region for his followers. Again, I was unable to document the event, however it will remain burned in my mind's eye for all eternity.

I would like to give thanks to cumicon for the great risk he took, and the amazing strength he had to keep such a pace with the GSA as he breezed easily up the bootpack, passing other hikers and skinners alike.

I will again be on Whistler mountain tomorrow, although I may not be an apostle, I intend to continue following his great teachings, beginning with morning prayers on Rabbit Tracks.

It was amazing to see that he walks just like me, one foot in front of the other. That he clicks into his skis one at a time just like the rest of us.

What magnificent treasures hath he inside his backpack? I postulate that he hath a quiver full of magic arrows to shoot into the sky to make the snow fall from the heavens.

Thank you cumicon! When will your knighting ceremony take place?

excellent work, hard going to, but GSA is really in no hurry at the end, I guess divinity has its perquisites

a side note, what board are you riding, is it NATIV ?

This thread clearly shows that the GSA is the chosen one... Skiers, snowboarders, snowbladers have all seen the light emanating from His perpetually charged GoPros. One harness to unite them all...

I have walked through the valley of death and into the light. The end is near. Prophets spoke of the GSA thousands of years ago...

Isaiah 41:
Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small...Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain.

I must sacrifice my oldest son to appease the GSA, for I am definitely a sinner, and as soon as I can afford enough GoPros to get 3D footage, I'll throw my dog in for good measure.

It's a fish.

I have LOL'ed so many times reading these past few pages. In honor of Himself, It seems logical that Whistler should rename 'Rabbit Tracks' to 'Gaper Spirit Animal Tracks.'

As soon as I pushed play on Saint Cumicon’s video it started snowing at sea level in southwest Washington which is very rare this time of year. I bow down to the holy GSA.

Here are some quotes from “The GSA Skis Down It”

“The GSA has blessed us all today… It’s just that he has been particularly good to Saint Cumicon.”

“According to the GSA there is no clear line between religion and powder skiing.”

“Eventually, all things merge into one, and the GSA rips down it. The GSA was created by the world’s great snowfall and covers rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless snowflakes. In these ancient snowflakes are words, and some of the words are his. I am haunted by snowfall.”

“The GSA is very sure about certain matters pertaining to the universe. To him all good things-powder skiing as well as eternal salvation-come by grace and grace comes by art and art does not come easy.”

“The world is full of jongs, the number increasing rapidly the further one gets from the GSA.”

“Nobody who did not know how to ski powder would be allowed to disgrace powder by skiing on it.”

My dreams have been filled with delusions of grandeur that I may witness the GSA & record His almightiness in person ... to approach & have the courage to speak and ask Him one question ... and that He will spare my gaper existence in his presence ... Oh the Glory! but I blaspheme! to use the GSA for my own glory! I will not ...

I pray that He will not read these words, for surely I will perish for even the thought!

oh by the way - solid work cumicon, I have never been so glued to a thread before - this is solid gold

Epic dude, way to hold your cool in the presence of a diety!

My spirit is reawakened by such sound peer approval of what I thought was just an apparition in my shaky post adolescent memory. With some re-introspection after thoroughly analyzing all evidence presented here, I believe I have been, for over a decade, sitting on footage of a PRE-INCARNATE of the GSA!

"The souls must reenter the absolute substance whence they have emerged. But to accomplish this, they must develop all the perfections, the germ of which is planted in them; and if they have not fulfilled this condition during one life, they must commence another, a third, and so forth, until they have acquired the condition which fits them for reunion with God."
- Zohar, one of the principal Cabalistic texts

I BELIEVE I witnessed and experienced and thusly denied a complete revolution in the spiral of ascension as Taught by the GSA.

Maybe a fellow believer could embed the following clips, for my fingers shake and my heart races upon re-experiencing the following footage...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRUxf...1&feature=plcp

My eyes nearly burst forth from their sockets at the first shot in the next clip

at :33 the giant front flip with full pack, that is a Nalgene water bottle that flies out.

The shot at :48 occurred on the most dark day in recent American history, 9/11/2001 How could the GSA of known that such destruction was about to befall The United States of America and COUNTER ACT the evil with such a display of GOOD! Hockey rink ice, double-bergrund etc. I sat atop the adjacent peak too lowly to accompany the GSA on his personal account of the peaks from up HIGH!

The rag doll at 2:43 was such a display of IMMORTAL gymnastics that.,, that... words fail me (sob, sob)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBY9v...eature=related

Towards the end, the GSA achieved what some mystics might call Perfection and thus the chapter was closed on my Tutelage.

This is no longer a thread but a gospel... GSA just became immortal.

Praise be Clownshoe the Evangelist! Praise be Cumicon the Baptist!

Will GSA's use of his harness signal the beginning of a rapture for all believers?

Do my eyes deceive me or is the GSA missing a finger? How? Why?

Uh oh. 2 GoPros (horns), hoofs for hands. Are we being fooled by the Beast or is the GSA a good and just spirit?

A non believer! Stone him!

I also would like to take this opportunity to formally invite all reading this to come join our fun-loving but responsible bunch of snowriding aficionados at http://forums.alpinezone.com/. I think most all of you will find that our seasoned moderators "keep the bar high" by maintaining a sense of order and decorum, while encouraging quality discussion about our favorite pastime. I can assure you that "newbies"'(jongs) are welcomed with open arms by our entire community(unlike here at TGR), and there is no "hazing period" or rudeness tolerated. It may take a small amount of getting used to, as we do have reasonable standards as far as language and image posting that are strictly enforced. The registration is easy and painless, and the rules will be explained in detail during the process. I will warn you however up front that registering an ALIAS is strictly "VERBOTEN", and something we have zero-tolerance with. If you are tired of the juvenile goings-on at TGR and Newschoolers and yearn for a snowriding forum that matches your maturity level, all I can say is: "Come join the fun"! :)

The only thing entertaining about this video was the random avalanche dog charging through the frame. I know he's a deity and all but couldn't you edit this a bit? It's like a 14 minute video of Christ on the cross.

Epic footage of the GSA cannot be edited. It must be viewed in its entirety since every minute detail and action of the GSA has purpose.

A special place in Florida awaits those who do not have the commitment and patience to learn the teachings of the GSA.

cumicon should've given him the deity call out, "I can't believe you're a God, I'm so much holier than you." I would pay money to see that on GaPer video.

I had to watch this twice as the first time through was difficult to see through my streaming tears.

The film clearly depicts GSA as sexual and violent being, primative yet evolved. His missing finger was no doubt chewed off as he was making his ascent to the top of kilimanjaro after his run-in with a native tribe.

Thank you Random Believer for putting GSA first in your life, and highlighting his existance in such a glorious way.
