the don said,
Check this guy's blog photo, GAPER GAP ALERT
http://streettopeak.wordpress.com/20...up-in-america/
That guy is a horrible writer.
Then on top of that his "blog" sucks.
On top of that he is one of the douchy USA hating Canadians.
Not all are douches, but this guy is just like the South Park episode.
fucking asshole.Terje was right.

Thats awesome! (her parents should get her lessons though)
I've seen similar acts of non gaperdom from new skiers lately. Seniora Dumpy is the advisor for the school she works at's ski club. I always meet her at the mountain on ski club nights. In past years her and I just free skied (most kids were experienced and all were snowboarders).
Well this year, there is one kid who is A) the only skier, B) a never ever and C) the only 7th grader/youngest member. The kids all do lessons, then break for dinner/check in and then free ski for a few hours. First night of ski club, we are on an easier blue and after I blow by him realize that a kid is walking along the trail carrying his gear. She's behind me and stops, after waiting downhill from her for a bit I realize it must be one of her kids, so I skate up to them.
It's the never ever 7th grader. Some of the older kids rode up with him and dropped him off at the trail next to the terrain park. He kept falling and couldn't make it down, so we help him get his gear back on gradually (many falls) get him back down and to the bunny hill. We spend a bit of time coaching him and take his poles for a run or two. Tells me on the lift that up on the other trail he was thinking about quitting skiing/ski club. After a few bunny hill runs, he cleans it without falling. Does it again for good measure. We help him return his gear, in the rental shops says with a big shit eating grin "I should've taken one more".
Next week when they check in around dinner time, he comes in later than the other kids. Stoked as hell, he proclaims that he skied the trail we helped him down and did it without falling. I skied with him for a bit (seniora Dumpy spent most of the night with him, I had pow to attend to), I think he did that trail 3-4 more times, twice top to bottom without falling.
At one point he tried going switch, which didn't really work, but he was able to transition into it easily. At another point he was working on his skating. basically if he sees us do it, he tries it. Kid is determined as hell. Staying upright was my number one challenge on day #2 of skiing (only slightly younger than him when I first learned).
I thought for sure he was going to quit or take up snowboarding, now I'm pretty sure he could end up a life long skier. Skiing with him is fun just because it's great to feed off of his stoke.
He also had a great inadvertent psuedo gaper quote:
Determined 7th grader after a snowlerbader goes by us: Wow that guy has short skis
Me: yeah we'll make fun of him for that later
Seniora Dumpy has claimed that if any of her ski club kids want to snowlerblade, she will do anything in her power to prevent it (our local mountain is infested with them). For "safety's sake" of course.

Someone at Alta on Saturday called the new Salomon BBR's waterskis.

Ha ha!!! I wish it was mine.
Conway, you can't say you don't notice them man. They might as well carry a flag that says really big "I CAN'T SKI". The best part is they usually act like they can ski like total BAMF's. Or like they ski enough to tell us what is what at the Village.

I had friends come in for new years. I was then forced to ski heavenly. I did enjoy it because of the fresh snow but also because of this guy. And no, I didn't take that picture my asshole friend did who turned around and yelled BLADES! and snapped it.

Sorry-I had my POV off. I used to keep it on and show my friends videos of me shredding the GNAR in the parking lot. Now I don't have any friends.
I think this particular coyote was interested in the toy poodle locked up in the car next to ours. The preferred food of coyotes everywhere.
