No quote needed from this gaper on 7th at Blackcomb - gay bandana covering face, GoPro on head for epic footage, snowboard boots, fuckin snowblades. Really??

What is with gapers and loving 7th Heaven so much?

On Saturday up at Big Sky, I'm pretty sure I heard someone say that there was too much powder while waiting for the triple. Granted, he could have been exceptionally sarcastic. Or, as evidenced by the amount of one-piece powder suits and camo, he could have been a midwest gaper. In any case, it became the mantra of our crew for the day.

That's apparently how the really cool east coast crowd roll.

He's probably writing a really lame article for Backcountry magazine that no one will bother reading?

So I'm calling around trying to get estimates on zipper repair for my jacket.
At least 2 places wouldn't accept a photo via email, and one girl said "Goretex?" after which I pretty much hung up.
2 shops have recommended a guy who seemed to really know what he was taking about, and had me text him some photos of the jacket's zipper. Yeah, he'll get my business.

Sounds like something I would say, along with pointing to some kind of shed and saying in a straight tone of voice "that's the mogul storage facility!"
I'd say your sarcasm meter is broken.

This summer in the tramline at Zermatt.

me: You must be American, right?

guy: Yeah, I stole this bathrobe from the hotel, forgot my coat. Sweet, huh?

me: 'Murika!

[PowerWhore7]

Main lodge @ Mammoth today...

kid: DAD! it stopped snowing!
father: now we’re talking...

[stuckathuntermtn]

Oh, and just about every interview I've been on for an entry level IT job:
me: What's your upgrade schedule?
IT Staff: Upgrade schedule?

Someone today even said they don't remote in much.

*sigh*

[DeepHelmet]

On the Road to Provo today at Snowbird, right after the rope dropped, surrounded by acres of untouched 12" blower, with Long Island accent. "Hey! Wheas the powdah"? He then proceeded to ski through the middle of the biggest blackest bomb hole in the area.
PS: I don't have anything against the LI accent, some of my best friends talk like that.

You must have missed the part where I said, "... he could have been exceptionally sarcastic." Reading is hard.

who knows what really happened but as i slowly approached a typically slippery corner leaving mt. hood meadows, i came upon one car in the snowbank to the left, and another in the snowbank to the right. and a little further ahead, a pickup with it's driver's side engine crushed. the car on the right had new jersey plates.

new fucking JERSEY.

....and a little further ahead, a pickup with it's driver's side engine crushed.

Damn lucky it didn't get the left side too, that guy would have been screwed!

[skiATL]

Sticking the lift ticket directly on the shirt is a new one...



to give the guy credit, he was giving a really good effort in trying to slide a mailbox on a a shitty ass day in north carolina.

[Shadam]

Sell some old, cheap gear you have laying around on Craig's List and the gapers come out of the woodwork. The best one I got from a pair of K2 Merlin Vs I had laying around, which was clearly listed as 188cm length both in the title and description:

Caller: What length are the skis?
Me: 188
Caller: So is that like a 180?
Me: No, it's like a 188
Caller: Oh, so they're not 180?
Me: No, they're 188
Caller: Oh, ok. Well those will probably be too long, I was looking for a length around 165-175.

And this was after he asked me what shoe size the bindings were.

Maybe that's just stupid, and not gaper-esque, but either way, c'mon.....

[TomCrac]

^^^ ... So don't leave us hanging.... Are they close to 165-75-80's??

[MRR11]

Lol, well for those dying to know, they measure pretty true to 188, but they actually ski more like a 188.

Riding with a ski area employee who shall remain nameless.

Me with 191 Billygoats on my feet.

Employee: "You should try the Super 7!"

REALLY?

[gointhedistance]

Lol, well for those dying to know, they measure pretty true to 188, but they actually ski more like a 188.

So your telling me they are a 188, measured to 188, and ski like a 188, but tell me - they are kinda like a 180, right?
