guy in lift line commenting about my EPs: "whoa man! do you have lights on your skis?"

Me: "...no, they are orange on the bottom"

my buddy, really loudly, and sarcastically, right in front of the guy: "dude! I heard you have lights on your skis!"

Definitely not a gaper move to wear a beacon inbounds at Squaw if the past couple years are any indication. If he's wearing it on the outside of his clothes, then its a poseur move, but not a gaper move.

I guess you guys had to be there..... It was obvious nothing else was going to open. No ramp built for red dog, no chairs on KT.

Parking guy at Alta commenting while I puT on my back protector

Anyone who doesn't wear one will give you shit. It's like the helmet thing. Don't need a helmet till you're laying next to a tree and drooling.

I take extreme evasive action but buddy behind me gets it wrong and BANG! bodies collide. It was ugly, 2 skiers yard sale and she was a-hurtin! But the bitch was wearing a helmet and ipod, I called out to her and she clearly didn't hear me and I wathced her line up buddy perfectly.
1 wearing ipod!
2 wearing helmet!
3 cutting across existing run!
4 FEMALE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
= way to ruin a great day

This is the best gaper quote of this thread. Way to step up Shadam and expose yourself as a complete gaper!

Basically you are saying that you are so unskilled that you or your buddy have a hard time avoiding obstacles in the trail - stationary or moving. Nice job gaper.

**DropCliffsNotBombs** · 12-10-2010, 04:23 PM

^^Hitting anyone from behind and then claiming that they skied into your line is a pretty gaperific move for sure.

**old goat** · 12-10-2010, 05:23 PM

I propose that this thread be renamed FUNNIEST gaper quote of the weekend--it doesn't have to be a quote, it doesn't have to be the weekend, but it's got to be funny. I get enough agro in my day as it is. I NEED this thread to make me laugh.

"Are those skis for helicopter skiing? Since they've got pictures of helicopters on them?"
"Yes"

While entering a well tracked traverse in an open controlled area, gaper yells, "that's not where I like to ski. See any bodies over there?"

**SgtSkidmark** · 12-10-2010, 05:48 PM

Gaper quote: On the chair at Meadows and a guy with Spyder everything and Apache Recons strikes up a conversation.
Guy: Wow, what are THOSE?
Me: Volkl Sumos
Guy: How do you turn those things?
Me: Uhhh, lay 'em on edge and carve.
Guy: Man, they look like they're falling apart, you must be doing jumps and stuff.
Me: Not really. The leather topsheets have a tendency to get scuffed up.
Guy: LEATHER??!! How do you ski on leather? I thought all skis had plastic on the bottom.

Not a gaper quote but funny anyway: Paying for parking in downtown PDX, a decrepit bag of bones asks where she can buy a "change for a nickel" sticker. I tell her I got mine from someone on TGR. She looks dumbfounded and I realize we aren't on the same wavelength. She goes on to tell me she thinks it's a really good message. With so many drug addled hippie minds in PDX, who knows what she was thinking.

from the powder photo annual. distinctly visible above the "deer in headlights" look: gaper gap suntan.

it would be less funny if it weren't an ad for Alta.

I was at lost trail last weekend. There was a group of ~5 guys, all maybe 17ish. One had the stupid short poles. As I walk by on the way to grab some food, I overhear one of them ask, "Whats with the short poles?"

Buddy replies, "They are way better for the park"

"But we aren't skiing the park. We almost never do, so you just look like a retard"

**guroo270** · 12-12-2010, 10:25 AM

Me at 5:45 this morning in Boulder - "Hey darlin', Vail just got 5 inches, want to make a run up there?"
gaper wife - "I can stay in bed and get more than 5 inches..."

**mnskier** · 12-12-2010, 06:59 PM

Just was reminded of this it happened a year ago. It was at a ski area in Minnesota but funny none the less. (Can't remember the exact words but it went like this.) It had just snowed a decent amount around a foot. I was skiing in the trees and a ski patrol yells at me from farther up the run and follows me to the bottom and tells me skiing in the trees is against their rules here and I might lose my lift ticket. Next he says, I could poke it eye out in the trees. He also goes on to say that they have nice groomed runs right there for me and skiing in those trees is a waste of time and extremely dangerous and I should make smarter decisions next time
