Best Gaper qoute of the weekend?

**MFJ&S** · 03-02-2009, 08:39 PM

That "wreck" was the bear grylls of gaperdom. Only he was his own camera man.

... I also hate it when the corn snow gets in my boots.

Woman: "How is it up there?"
Me: "Not too bad"
W: "Is it slippery?"
M: "?"
W: "is it slippery up there?"
M: "Um, that's sort of the point"
W: "Will I be able to turn?"
M: "Oh, you mean [I]icy[I]?"
all i got after that was a blank stare

and another:
"Jesus, Joey, my fuckin jeans is froze"

by the way that picture had me laughing for a good 10 minutes, most entertaining thing for me in this thread so far

Worst I ever heard was at Jackson 3 years ago during a 36 inch storm. Riding the chairlift a lady says, "I don't really like all this new snow. I wish they had something that was groomed."

No seriously, don't just watch the first couple seconds, tough it out and watch the whole thing. It's like "The Office" meets Alpental. Effing Hilarious.

Oh, and a pic:

hahahahahahahahahaha

"At ski Dubai, there is a TGI Fridays. At Alpental, you have Mount Rainier." hahahaha

His camera is pretty much his best friend. wow.

I was at Snowbird and had gotten out of the tram on top of Hidden Peak and this girl who had just ridden the tram asks her partner, "Are we at Awl-ta or Snowbird?"

**Rob Stokes** · 03-04-2009, 10:58 AM

there was a guy telemarking on snowlerblades at whistler yesterday.

I work at a ski shop and during the last good storm cycle I had close to ten different people ask me if getting their skis waxed would help them from getting stuck in the powder.

I told them all to ski faster.

So I was reading this thread on MTBR tonight. It was a thread about all-mountain skis and all-mountain bikes, lifestyle/etc:

Hahaha oh my. I would love to see some pro drop in on a monstrous line on XC skis.

Hey everyone, Im from florida, and dont know a ton about snow staying on the ground and how cold it has to stay to be able to ski... so i figured this would be a good place to ask. We are heading to NC for spring break, we are leaving this saturday and will be there from that night and all of next week till the next friday. soo that would be march 7-13... We wernt plannin on skiing, just kind of hangin out.. but once we thought about it we dicided maybe we could go night skiing in Cataloochee. My question is, are we going to be able to? Is it going to be too warm lets say sunday night or next week? Because the forecast is for it to rain. Will it be cold enough on top of the mountain for it to snow? Sorry for my ignorance... just curious. thanks!

**SkiED** · 03-05-2009, 10:46 PM

^seems like a beginner skier who doesnt know much about skiing(and admits it) asking for some simple advice... not really a gaper quote

I saw Fritschi Freerides on snow blades a few weeks ago.

**karpiel** · 03-05-2009, 11:11 PM

/\/\/\/\/\/\ I thought the same, dude with zero to minimal snow experience just had an honest question.

No. No way.

That's not actually that stupid. I think your hating on that statement is way more gapertastic than what he said.

Maybe you don't know anything about skiing in the south, but this resort has a base of 50-102 inches right now. This person is asking if that base is going to disappear if the temp goes above freezing for a few days or a day of rain.

Fail I haven't gotten much sleep and thought you quoted my post. I guess that my response to other people saying the florida person had a legitimate question

Not really a gaper quote.

I know guys who ski pretty much everything on the mountain and back country on high end GS race carvers. But they are super strong, super fit and have been on skis since they where 3, and skiing as a job since 18. So I am more than happy to bow to their superior skiing ability and click into something fatter and softer when I hit the pow. They still kick my arse.
