Best Gaper qoute of the weekend?

[The SnowShow]

Always a good time watching gapers try to get on the storm king poma at Copper...on Sunday, there was a full fledged discussion between like 10 Texans on how to get on it..had to bite my lip

[DasBlunt]

A scared gaper was walking below the Super Bee today at Copper, with his skis in his arms...trips up on a steep pitch, yard sales and couldn't stop his slide...one ski wouldn't stop and almost hit other people..fucking idiot

you should have stopped at Copper Mountain...just saying that is a gaper quote.

Gaper Day party @ The Whale's Tail in Breck Thursday night @ 9:00. Come gaped out!

Couple years back in Utah a group of kids arrived in bus loads.

Getting my gear on and about to walk out the door and one of the kids is walking funny. I look down and he has his ski boots on the wrong feet! I didn't even know that was possible.

He's with his buddies, I look at him and semi-quietly tell him he's wearing his boots on the wrong feet. His buddies heard and busted out laughing. He promptly replies " I was wondering why they hurt so much"

I laughed my ass off!

"I wrote a letter to the city and signed it by my dog. Dipped his paw in ink..." or something like that. As told by one old limp dick to another on the lift yesterday talking about how it was wrong that some store wouldn't let him bring his dog in.

Now, would you like some brie and wine?

Lift bar drops down on the back of my head...
"oh, Sorry"

I'm standing at the bus stop with a pair of beat up Lib Tech Skis and some new armada's that haven't been mounted yet and this old goat walks up to me...

goat: "you know what's wrong with your skis?"
me: "they don't have bindings on them."
goat: "no, the other ones. I don't know what kind they are"
me: "they're Lib Tech"
goat: "i've worked at (insert random ski shop) for twenty years and I've never heard of them"
me: "...well, they exist."

Gee, I always though moguls were turned inside out and became suncups in the spring. (Now there's some tough skiing)

A new spin on the fat ski-water ski version:
Old guy in lift line eyeing my praxis - "Are those illegal skis?"
Made me laugh.

2.
KT lift line yesterday after first run. I was 10th chair or something and trucked past a few boarders at the top. We are jostling for position on the next run after the ticket gate when a 10 person line suddenly magically becomes a 4 person line for the chair and we have 2 boarders next to us, one chick and a guy, mid 30s
Me to friend: I love having boarders ahead of me in lift lines (talking about the earlier run)
Friend: Yup, Pass them always.
About a minute more of jostling later, the girl gets all butthurt and shouts out out of the blue " Why dont you two go ahead. You will go past us anyways at the top since we are slow boarders" and lets us pass her on the line.
I wish more people would get butthurt on pow days and give up their position.

someone was on the rag

[oftpiste]

Standing in a shitshow line for an upper mountain chair that hadn't opened in two days of snowfall.

60ish woman pretty deliberately steps to her left and literally stands, in her skis, about at her heels, on the tips of my Mavens. Both of them.

Me: Excuse me, could you please not stand on my skis?
Her:................. but she gets the fuck off.

a few minutes later her (I presume) husband says:
"How about if we don't step on your skis, you be polite and don't pass us in the line? It's all about being polite now, isn't it?"

Me: tight lipped smile and nod...... I wanted to slap him.

Had my 9 and 11 year-old sons not been standing next to me it's likely my response might have been a bit different. Mind you, I firmly believe in taking turns and being reasonable in lift lines. I'll fill up an openeing if it appears in front of me, but never get aggro. Some were being aggressive in this line, but it weren't me.

Fucking stupid ass douchenozzles. Get back to the magic carpet.

Scoothing along in the lift line a couple of Jib rats were trying to cut 2 of us off so they could ride 2 on a Quad,no big deal. Eventually it came down to the squeeze and so I said. YOU 2 GANGSTERS RIDE WITH US. Ummmm no thank-you Sir.

Had a gaper family in the ski shop to get some rentals. The dad sees some old water ski hanging on the wall and says "Look kids, those are old timey jumping skiis!"

This isn't a quote, more of a rant...STOP FUCKING TALKING ON THE CELL PHONE WHILE SKIING!

Today I was hauling ass around the corner of the BSB catwalk and some gaper was standing in the middle of the catwalk on his phone, and almost caused 5 of use to collide while trying to keep our momentum up. WTF

See that is the problem he WASN'T skiing. If he was moving it would have been fine. Amateurs on a cell phone are pathetic. Just like these assholes who can't drive and talk at the same time.

I answer the phone all the time while riding. Actually moving that is. It's not hard - and if it can save a job or get me one I will do it every time.

I hear ya...most of the idiots I'm talking about are absolutely total amateurs. If you can handle it, fine, but most can't, and over the last few years, more and more, I see people talking on the phone and not paying attention to anything going on around them...this guy in particular pissed me off...

As he should.
People with no situational awareness of anything around them deserve to be run over. But then you lose your mo. Where is BSB?

Carry on.

Dipstick on a phone just stood in front of a gate to get on the chair. I shoved him through after the second chair passed. He just looked at me and kept talking. BUT he was on the chair.

13 yr old boy: WOW ...Winter Park has a luge course!

Me thinking: "It's morning and I'm barely awake. How can the kid see the alpine slide under all the snow?"

13 yr boy: WOW, I wonder if they'll let us get in it?

Me: I realize he is now talking and pointing at the green Denver Water Pipeline at the base.

13 yr boy asks me: "Will they let us ride in it?

Me: "It's a Denver Water pipeline not a luge course."
