a troller passes you on the hill and you are instantly BFFs?? good one...

Actually, it was the kids who called their friends gapers.

I had to tell them that wasn't nice. I'll never forget my daughter telling her older brother's friend that he had a huge gaper gap, then proceeding to both explain what that was, why it was gay and how to fix it.

I saw the trifecta on saturday. Guy in a cowboy hat, in a purple 1 piece tucked into his boots, on snowblades. Really wish I had my camera with me

I was not debating the "shittyness" of the E chair. I was simply stating that it is steep and bumpy, and in lower breck. You, yourself admitted that it was bumpy, and I am not sure what your "core-er than thou" attitude considers steep, but i am willing to bet that there are quite a few runs under the E chair that push 40 degrees or more.

Man to Crying Wife: "Damn it honey you have to put your heal in first"
Me to Wife: "you need to push that back part down, clear out the snow, then step in toe first"
Man to Me: "Excuse me but we know what we are doing"

Earlier that day
"I hate how they dynamite the powder they should let people track it up first"

More of an image than a quote. Crowded day, singles line stretches back a ways. Dude in a tassled hat, sony over ear headphones (big SONY logo), Marker Dukes on Pontoons, back-pack with avy shovel handle sticking out. Realizes the end of the line is further uphill. Tries to skate, but can't really get the hang of it. Keeps slipping like he can't get an edge. Fails around a little. Plants his pole between his tips, trips, I think the shovel handle hit him in the back of the head. He struggles again and moves out of my sight.

That sight put a smile on my face to start the day. Way to be core, dude.

Later in the day:
Boyfriend screaming emphatically: "Stop, wait"
Girlfriend stops, impatientely: "What"
Boyfriend: "you went too far. There's really good snow over here"
Girlfriend, dryly: "There's good snow everywhere"

Another smile for the day.

Saturday on Schlasmans – I pulled into the line to hear a father literally yelling at his two sons to hurry up and get their butts to the line. “You need to go faster, dammit! Skate! Skate!” He grabbed each and violently thrust both forward nearly five yards to the beacon cords. There was hardly anyone else in the queue. A random girl behind the father looked at me thinking the same thing – it sucks to be those kids.

The other day I saw some teenager kid in the lift line
wearing a baseball hat at about a 45 degree angle upwards,
crooked, and a helmet, unbuckled, on top of it.

Maximum gaper gap.

I saw a mother and son in the Montezuma lift line at Keystone skiing in snuggies over winter break.

Reminds me of when I stepped out of my binding after standing first in line for 20 minutes on a rather good day. Sometimes shit happens and you just need to laugh it off, I'm sure everyone else got a good laugh.

Third back in lift line, next to load a man and teenager in rental skis behind them a snowboarder, in rentals, obviously with them. Older skier turns to boarder and says "you're going to have to ride by yourself today, you can only fit one of those on the chair"

**Chugachjed** · 02-01-2010, 04:49 PM

Maybe he just didn't want to be seen with said snowboarder. Or taken out getting off the lift.

Gap-a-palooza: Nope, first time. WOW! Those skis are huge!! They are like water skis. <<points to my Made'n AKs>>
Me: <<face palm>> Ha, thanks.

working the other day I ride up a chair with a couple of little kids, maybe 8-9 years old - one kid says to the other "I'm looking pretty good, don't you think?" - the other says "watching you ski is like watching a retarded monkey rollerblade on a gravel road" - I almost fell off the chair laughing

I was checking out at the grocery in Boulder when the bagger, who looked like he was probably a high school kid, asked if I was wearing an Iron Maiden t-shirt and added that he "loves those guys". I decided against explaining that the shirt says Made'n AK, not Iron Maiden and just said yeah, cool.
